This year’s new initiative -- Take A Bite Out of Hunger -- is just one way for individuals and families to get involved in September’s Hunger Action Month by dining out at one of 21 restaurants in the area.

Participating restaurants will donate a percentage of their proceeds to the Food Bank for a particular day, said Travis Sorensen, development coordinator. Diners are asked to let the wait staff at the restaurant know they are there for the Food Bank’s Take a Bite Out of Hunger campaign.

On Sept. 14 Food Bank board members and staff will be working at the Brick Street Brews, Rogers, as guest bartenders with a portion of the proceeds going to the Food Bank.

“We want to provide a simple way for anyone to get engaged in the fight to combat hunger,” Mike Williams, director of development, said about the month-long event.
