Credit: Instagram \/ safoodbank<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The San Antonio Food Bank has brought back its version of Restaurant Weeks for a second consecutive year, officials with the nonprofit said Tuesday. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latest installment of San Antonio Food Bank Restaurant Weeks will run Saturday, June 6 through Saturday, June 20. The theme? Farm-to-table. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each participating Alamo City-area restaurant will create a signature dish based on seasonal harvest ingredients. In turn, $1 from each sale of the special will go directly to the Food Bank\u2019s Summer Meals for Kids initiative, which feeds local youths during a time when families don\u2019t have access to free or discount school lunches. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each dollar donated to the program helps provide seven meals for hungry kids in need, according to Food Bank officials.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are bringing it back this year because the need is still there, and we will never stop working to make a difference. This campaign plays a vital role in supporting our Summer Meals for Kids initiative and helping ensure no child goes without a meal during the summer months,\u201d San Antonio Food Bank President and CEO Eric Cooper said in a statement. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year\u2019s participating restaurants include Naco Mexican Eatery, Anacacho Coffee &amp; Cantina, Barbaro, Boiler House, Clementine, The Jerk Shack and more. A full list of participating restaurants and their menus is available on the <a href=\"https:\/\/safoodbank.org\/restaurant-weeks\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">San Antonio Food Bank website<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The San Antonio Food Bank Restaurant Weeks event should not to be confused with Culinaria\u2019s Restaurant Weeks, which operate as a separate fundraising culinary event.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sacurrent.com\/sanantonio\/NewsletterSignup\/Page\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"
