TGI Friday’s announces 4th annual food drive

BOARDMAN

The Bistro Group of Cincinnati, the nation’s third largest franchisee of TGI Fridays restaurants, announces its fourth annual Can For A Fan virtual food drive benefiting nine regional food banks. Now through Oct. 15, TGI Fridays in Boardman with several other communities, will donate one can of food to a local food bank for each new Facebook fan at Facebook.com/EatAtTGIFridays.

This year’s food drive is expanding to include individual Bistro Group location Facebook page likes as well. Besides promoting the campaign on Facebook, guests who attend the Bartender Championships at each location will be invited to log on to Facebook and like their local fan page. For each like received, an additional canned good will be donated to Second Harvest Food Bank in this area.

Local fan pages can be found on the Can For A Fan Tab placed on each location’s Facebook page.
