Restaurants, Suppliers Join ‘Freedom from Hunger’ Drive
KING OF PRUSSIA PA – Several western Montgomery County restaurants, and other area businesses, are among early supporters of a returning fund-raiser to relieve hunger.
Inaugural participants in this year’s Valley Forge Tourism and Convention Board collection, which benefits the MontCo Anti-Hunger Network, was announced Friday (Sept. 20, 2024). The board hopes its 10th annual “Freedom from Hunger Drive” will raise the monetary equivalent of 90,000 pounds of food.
Proceeds from the drive will be distributed by the network to its almost 70 providers of free meals to food-insecure individuals. Every dollar in donations can buy 12 pounds of food, or seven meals, to feed those who occasionally or regularly go without one.
The drive’s business local participants include:
Sweet Ashley’s Chocolates in Royersford, Blossom Café in Skippack; and Workhorse Brewing Company and Bartaco Restaurant, both in King of Prussia. All four are donating a portion of their sales of selected products to the drive. Fogo De Chao Restaurant in King of Prussia also is a donor.
Other business contributors to the “Freedom from Hunger Drive” are Boyd’s Cardinal Hollow Winery, Aneu Kitchen, The Reliable Companies, Conlin’s Print, King of Prussia Mall, Madden Media, Black Powder Tavern, Simpleview, and Giant Food Stores in Willow Grove, Wynnewood, King of Prussia, and Norristown.
Public contributions to the drive are welcomed and appreciated. They are being accepted by the network online.

Run for Election on the Cheddar Bay Ticket
ORLANDO FL – The Red Lobster restaurant chain, with locations in Pottstown, King of Prussia, and Lansdale, is running a contest with a long-term prize. The winner gets free seafood and the company’s Cheddar Bay-branded biscuits for four years.
Why so long? Red Lobster is conducting the contest as if it were running a presidential campaign, and U.S. presidents serve for four years. The campaign has its own website, and a slogan: “When biscuits rise, America thrives.”
The contest began Sept. 9 (2024; Monday) and runs through Nov. 10 (Sunday), so restaurant guests have plenty of time to nominate themselves as “candidates.”
The prize is valued at $100 a month for 48 months, and awarded as 48 $100 Red Lobster gift cards, the company explains. To enter, visit a Red Lobster restaurant and the “Cheddar Bay 2024” QR (quick response) code found on its tables.
