FRISCO, Texas — On Wednesday, Market Street grocery stores teamed up with Audacy to present $10,000 checks to two non-profits, North Texas Food Bank and the Lena Pope Foundation, following the conclusion of the DFW Restaurant Week fundraising campaign. These funds represent the money raised by Market Street stores across the Metroplex.
Over the past 27 years, DFW Restaurant Week has raised nearly $27 million in donations for its charity partners. Dozens of businesses and restaurants across the Metroplex participated in the campaign. Guests of participating restaurants had a portion of the cost of their meal donated to the partner charities or they could make a contribution on their own.
During the campaign, guests at Market Street had the opportunity to donate at the register when checking out or purchase a special DFW Restaurant Week coupon/recipe book, with proceeds going to the partner charities.
“Here at Market Street, we are so glad to continue our support of the DFW Restaurant Week campaign,” said Robert Bollinger, regional vice president for The United Family. “Not only does this initiative allow us to raise money for two outstanding non-profit organizations in our communities, but it encourages people in our community to go out and support the businesses and restaurants in their area. We know these funds we presented to North Texas Food Bank and the Lena Pope Foundation will have a positive impact on so many across the area.”
