Local restaurants encourage diners to support United Way
Throughout the months of October and November, local restaurants teamed up with United Way of 1000 Lakes to participate in this yearâs Dining United, which helps to raise funds for their annual campaign. Participating restaurants included 17th Street Grill, Bixbys, Brewed Awakenings, Culverâs, Forest Lake Lounge and downstairs steakhouse, Locker Room Bar and Grill, Pickled Loon Saloon, Rapids Brewing Company, Toivoâs Restaurant and Sports Bar, Unwined Up North and Zorbaz on Pokegama Lake. Each restaurant donated a percentage of sales from breakfast, lunch and dinner menu items to United Way and raised over $4,800 to support individuals and families hoping to reach their highest potential in the Itasca Area.
