Virginia announced an upcoming Takeout Week to support local restaurants trying to stay afloat despite the loss of business from the COVID-19 pandemic.
With the motto “Virginia is for Restaurant Lovers,” event organizers want people to order takeout at local businesses beginning today (March 30) until April 5, according to the event page on Fairfax County’s website.
People may be able to order directly from the eatery or use apps such as GrubHub and Uber Eats for curbside drop off.
Reston Now previously did a roundup of local eateries still open for delivery, which includes roughly two dozen various choices.
Already, some restaurants have chosen to shut down and let go of staffers. Temporary closures include Bombay Velvet, Not Your Average Joe’s and Big Bowl.
People who participate are encouraged to use the hashtag #VirginiaEatsLocal to show solidarity and encourage their friends and family to order out, the website said.
