launching a virtual food drive where customers can donate online.

Guests who donate $1 or more at participating restaurants will receive a
pin-up card to sign and hang on the walls of the restaurant to show their
support. Arby's restaurants donated 15% of daily sales on September
11 and will do so again on October 16 to
help increase funds raised.

with local food banks to set aside a mix of fresh, frozen and non-perishable
products” says Jennifer Beesley, Senior
