Families in the Dallas-Fort Worth area have an excellent opportunity to dine out while contributing to a worthy cause during DFW Restaurant Week. This event, which has grown to span an entire month, supports Lena Pope, a Fort Worth nonprofit dedicated to enhancing child development and promoting mental health services for families in need.
Starting August 10 and running through Labor Day on September 7, diners can enjoy gourmet meals at participating restaurants, with 20% of each meal purchased going directly to support Lena Pope’s initiatives. This biannual event not only allows food lovers to enjoy discounted meals but also fosters a sense of community and compassion.
