A coalition of restaurants are asking Americans to participate in The Great American Takeout on Tuesday, March 24.
Together, we must act to support each other and our communities in unprecedented ways.
Just in time to help is a national grassroots effort by those directly impacted to get you out of the house, at least for one day on Tuesday, March 24, 2020 for The Great American Takeout. #TheGreatAmericanTakeOut.
Americans are encouraged to order at least one meal for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Because dine-in meals are no longer being served at most restaurants, delivery and pick-up are the only ways to support these struggling businesses.
“The #TheGreatAmericanTakeout is the perfect opportunity to show our local restaurants how much we support and value them. The COVID-19 crisis is affecting every sector of our hospitality industry and impacting more than 9,000 people who work in our local hospitality community. It’s going to take our whole community coming together to ensure that our locally-owned, unique restaurants are here to stay. Please, order takeout tomorrow, March 24 as part of #TheGreatAmericanTakeout – and every other day, as much as possible. Let’s show our restaurants that we’re here to support them.” – Mary Kerr, President and CEO of Destination Ann Arbor
