Got Lunch! Laconia announces the kick-off to year six of its annual Eat Out For Got Lunch! from May 16 to19. Visit one or all of the sponsoring restaurants for either lunch or dinner on their designated day. Tell the restaurant that you are there to support Got Lunch! Laconia and each restaurant will make a donation to the program. The program delivers enough healthy groceries for five healthy lunches a week to children in Laconia who don’t have enough food during the summer months. The following restaurants are participating: Monday are T-Bones, Cactus Jack’s, Burrito Me or Patrick’s Pub; Tuesday are Lyons’ Den, Village Bakery and The Local Eatery (dinner only); Wednesday are Brick Front, Holy Grail of the Lakes Region and Faro Italian Grille (dinner only); Thursday are Hector’s and Tavern 27 (dinner only). For more information about the program, to register your child, volunteer or the schedule of restaurants visit gotlunchlaconia.org.
Saturday is the annual Letter Carriers Stamp Out Hunger food drive. In the Concord area, food is collected and distributed locally through a collaborative effort of the National Association of Letter Carriers, Granite United Way Merrimack County and the Capital Region Food Program. Local residents place bags of non-perishable food items by their mailboxes and letter carriers deliver the donations. Participate on social media with #StampOutHunger.
