Restaurant raises over $9K for food bank in spite of pandemic hardship

    FAYETTEVILLE, Arkansas (KFSM) — Chicken Salad Chick, a southern-inspired, fast-casual chicken salad restaurant, has raised a total of $9,400 for a local food bank.
A check will be presented to Northwest Arkansas (NWA) Food Bank, a non-profit food bank serving the hungry in four NWA counties, on Thursday (Jan. 21) at Chicken Salad Chick in Fayetteville.
Last March, restaurants were forced to close their doors temporarily when the coronavirus hit the state and have continued to struggle since reopening with lost revenue resulting from quarantine, the mask mandate, capacity guidelines and all that came with the pandemic.
Even though 2020 was one of the hardest years to hit the restaurant industry in modern U.S. history, many local restaurant owners stepped up to help feed community members in need, even with no guarantee they would be able to provide for their own families before the pandemic was over.
