T.G.I. Friday's virtual drive to benefit 9 area food banks

YOUNGSTOWN

The Bistro Group, the nation’s third largest franchisee of T.G.I. Friday’s restaurants, is having its third annual Can For A Fan virtual food drive benefitting nine regional food banks.

T.G.I. Friday’s in the greater Youngstown area will donate one can of food to the Second Harvest Food Bank of the Mahoning Valley for each new Youngstown local Facebook fan at Facebook.com/EatAtTGIFridays. In addition to Facebook, the initiative expands to Pinterest this year. On TGI Friday’s Can For A Fan Pinterest board, Pinterest.com/eatattgifridays/canforafan, users can like the Second Harvest Food Bank pinned logo and an additional can of food will be donated.

T.G.I. Friday’s will continue the food drive through Dec. 31 or until 5,000 cans have been donated.
