Winner, winner; what’s for dinner? 🍴
In an effort to support local restaurants and make life easier, tastier + cheaper for our community, we’re launching our 2 week Dinner on Us giveaway, sponsored by Greenville Federal Credit Union. 🍔
For the next 2 weeks, we’ll give 2 winners per week five $100 gift cards to 5 restaurants of their choosing ($500 total value per winner). Winners get to use those gift cards to order take-out, delivery – or even donate them to healthcare workers or a family in need.
