Lazy Dog is doing its part to make sure people are fed and cared for, including those on the front lines, essential workers and everyone else in the community. The restaurant brand is expanding its offerings:
Pantry Packs – Adding a la carte items like flour and continuing its $40 pack of essentials
DIY Meal Kits – Do it yourself brunch kit, pizza night, backyard BBQ, build-your-own nachos and new DIY pop-tarts!
Family Meals – BBQ Bison Meatloaf, back by popular demand, is available for entrees to go and now a family meal that feeds 4 – 6 for $50. Bowls like teriyaki or kung pao chicken are available in meals too. For each of the family meals ordered, one will be donated to an organization serving those in need. So far, 15,000 meals have been donated.
Sponsor a meal for a frontline worker – Want to share some love for those at a local hospital? You can sponsor a meal that will be delivered on your behalf.
Dog meals, a take-out bar, and a limited menu are also available. All the details are on the Lazy Dog website.

Curry Up Now Launches Roll it Forward Initiative
05.11.20
In response to the current COVID-19 pandemic and its dramatic impact on the hospital system and economy, Curry Up Now, Irvine's innovative Indian fast-casual chain known for its Tikka Masala Burritos and more has launched a Roll It Forward meal matching initiative. Beginning today, guests can add $12 Donation Meals to their orders via the Curry Up Now app and website.
For every Donation Meal purchased, the restaurant will match it meal-for-meal and deliver it directly to those in need in Orange County. The first big delivery will be on Nurses Appreciation Day (May 6) to UCI Medical Center, and all donations thereafter will continue to help the OC & Irvine communities on a regular basis, including furloughed or unemployed hospitality workers and those in homeless shelters.
