Dine For A Cause
Fork Over Love, together with DiscoverNEPA, Powered by Mericle, is bringing the community together to break bread for its 2nd Annual Restaurant Week. Grab your friends, go out to eat and give a fork for your neighbors in need, making a difference while indulging in some amazing meals.
Whether you’re a foodie, a champion of small businesses, or simply someone who likes to give back, Restaurant Week offers the perfect opportunity to enjoy delicious food while contributing to this great cause.
From Sunday, October 6, through Saturday, October 12, forty-four restaurants in Luzerne and Lackawanna Counties have joined forces to showcase their best signature dishes, with proceeds going directly to support Fork Over Love’s vital mission: feeding our neighbors in need. Whether you choose to dine in or grab your meal to go, every dollar you spend contributes to Fork Over Love’s ongoing efforts to help local families and keep small businesses thriving.
“Time and time again we are reminded that the power of a hot meal served with love can move mountains. Restaurant Week is proof positive. We’re hoping that everyone experiences this power by gathering with friends at one (or many) of our participating restaurants during the week. This simple act of slowing down and eating great food with those you love will have a beautiful ripple effect when our partners donate a portion of the proceeds to help us continue to nourish the entire community.”
On A Mission To End Hunger
Since 2021, Fork Over Love has distributed over 80,000 meals to those in need in Luzerne, Lackawanna and Wyoming Counties, and reinvested $750,000 into independent restaurants. Every meal is free, whether you could benefit from a warm meal prepared with love or are looking to support your local restaurants. Every dollar collected from donations are returned to the local economy to support local restaurants.
