Events like Harvest Week help EatDenver raise money in normal years, but right now, buying restaurant gift cards will give the organization a boost.Courtesy of EatDenver
We have a favor to ask
We're in the midst of our spring campaign, and we have until June 7 to raise $12,000. This money directly supports the journalism Westword produces and helps keep our work freely accessible for all, because not everyone can afford to pay for news. If you value our work, please make a contribution today to help us reach our goal.

Denver restaurants have been struggling since March 17, when they were ordered to close to dine-in customers until the coronavirus threat can be brought under control. In addition to offering takeout and delivery services, many eateries have been promoting gift cards as a way to pay businesses today for a meal later. And now, EatDenver, the city's association of independent restaurants, is making every dollar you spend on a gift card worth twice the amount with its Double Down for Denver Restaurants campaign.
As a nonprofit organization, EatDenver relies on membership dues and proceeds from special events such as the Big Eat and Harvest Week, as well as programs like the Dining Deck, to stay funded so that it can serve as an advocate for the needs of its members year-round. But with big events on hold or canceled and many restaurants closed or operating at only partial capacity, EatDenver is struggling, too.
Thanks to sponsorship donations, though, EatDenver is launching Double Down for Denver Restaurants. For each dollar you spend on a member restaurant's gift cards, the sponsors will donate a dollar to EatDenver; currently $43,000 has been pledged byCampari America, Restaurant Solutions Inc., Ecolab, Tito's Handmade Vodka, Messner Reeves LLP, New Belgium Brewing, ToMarket, Curtis Corrado Farmers Agency, Moody Insurance, Seattle Fish Company and What Chefs Want (with more coming on board). So you'll be supporting your favorite restaurants while also contributing to EatDenver and its mission to provide information, collaboration and support, including giving vital guidance on reopening safely and efficiently once the worst of the current crisis has passed.
Double Down for Denver Restaurants was conceived by Stephanie Bonin, co-owner of Duo in Highland and one of the original founders of EatDenver, and is being guided by executive director Katie Lazor and her team. The campaign kicks off today (Monday, April 20), so get your gift cards soon, as the matching money is expected to be used up quickly. Here's a complete list of EatDenver member restaurants throughout the metro area (not all of which are currently open, but are still selling gift cards for when they can reopen):
