7. Participate in Restaurants Against Hunger - October 19, 2004

Since 2001, over 100 restaurants in New York and surrounding areas have helped Action Against Hunger (AAH) by participating in Restaurants Against Hunger—inviting customers to have dinner in their establishments and donating a percentage of their profits to AAH. This year, the event will take place in San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, and Boston. The event will be a win-win proposition for both participating restaurants and AAH.

• The event will be held on a Tuesday night, typically a slow night, in order to increase business for restaurants on that day.
• A minimum donation of 20% of sales for the night is requested in order to generate media coverage, provide high quality public relations for restaurants, and maximize donations for AAH.
