RESTAURANTS IN PORT Angeles, Sequim and Forks are donating a portion of their proceeds to the United Way of Clallam County during the two-day 24th annual Restaurant Days.
Participating eateries in all three cities are hosting the fundraiser today and tonight.
On Friday, only those in Port Angeles and Sequim will do so.
“During your breakfast, lunch or dinner, you can help your community by eating at your favorite restaurant or stopping in for coffee or dessert,” said Buck Gieseke, United Way Campaign chairman.
“Don’t forget to thank the restaurant for their support of the many agencies that will receive United Way funding.”
$1 million goal
United Way is halfway through the annual fall fundraising campaign and hopes to raise $1 million.
The campaign total as of Tuesday was $162,000.
Restaurant Days is a way of highlighting the United Way campaign and the commitment to local community of this particular small-business segment, Gieseke said.
“Each year, restaurants and other small businesses all over Clallam County make generous contributions in support of United Way . . . Going out to eat is also a great way for each of us to support the restaurants in our community,” he said.
