Join in today’s March 24th ‘Great American Takeout’ To Support Restaurants! – Venice Paparazzi | Venice Beach CA, Photo Agency, Community Info, News, Events

Here is a message from the #TheGreatAmericanTakeout event organizers!

America’s restaurants are in crisis. The coronavirus poses a significant threat to the future of an industry that employs more than 15 million Americans.

That’s why we’re asking everyone in America to support restaurants and their employees on Tuesday, March 24, by joining #TheGreatAmericanTakeout and eating at least one delivery or pick-up meal.

Here’s How You Can Help:

Eat. On 3/24, order takeout or delivery from your favorite restaurant. It’s as simple as that! Don’t forget to post a snap or video of your meal, tagged with #thegreatamericantakeout.
Repeat. The Great American Takeout is only the beginning. Keep supporting our nation’s restaurants by ordering takeout or delivery as often as you can.

For every social post with #TheGreatAmericanTakeout hashtag today, Smithfield Foods will make a $5 donation, up to $100,000, to CORE™: CHILDREN OF RESTAURANT EMPLOYEES, the national nonprofit organization dedicated to serving food and beverage service employees with children who are faced with qualifying life-altering circumstances and in need of support. Donations made to the CORE COVID-19 Relief Fund will go directly to food and beverage service industry employees and their families in need due to the direct impact of a COVID-19 diagnosis.
