EAT LOCAL.
GIVE LOCAL.

Eat Local. Give Local. is a one-day community-wide fundraiser that celebrates the powerful role local food and beverage businesses play in Dane County!

When you spend at locally owned food businesses, 60.7% of that revenue stays in our community. On Tuesday, May 19, 2026, participating restaurants, cafés, bars, and other local establishments will donate 10% of the day’s sales back to Dane Buy Local.

Community members can take part by dining in, ordering curbside pickup, or choosing delivery. Dane Buy Local will support participating businesses with a full marketing campaign to help drive customers through their doors.It’s simple: choose local, eat well, and give back.
