Dine Local. Give Local. Support South Bay: Restaurant Week Kicks Off with a Community Food Drive
The South Bay has always been a place where good food and good neighbors come together, and this year’s South Bay Restaurant Week is no exception. As we celebrate the incredible restaurants that make our community shine, we are also taking time to give back to those facing food insecurity right here at home. Local Anchor, South Bay Volunteers, South Bay Credit Union, and Community’s Child have joined forces for a community-wide Food Drive to ensure every family has access to nutritious meals. Together, we can make a difference, one meal, one act of kindness, and one neighbor at a time.
