Heading out this weekend to experience all the exciting flavors of Inlander Restaurant Week? Us too.

As you dine, make sure to share your experiences on social media using the event hashtag #IRWRaveReviews to help rack up donations to the event's regional beneficiary, Second Harvest. (Make sure your Instagrams, Facebook posts and Tweets are public so they can be viewed and counted!) Each post shared using the #IRWRaveReviews hashtag will translate to five donated meals to Second Harvest, on behalf of food services provider Sysco.

For those who haven't yet made reservations (do so soon!) or are looking for more local spots to add to their Restaurant Week itinerary, the hashtag is also a great way to get a sneak peek at what other diners are loving on the 100+ menus this year.

If social media posts of food aren't your thing (you totes get a free pass this week — it's for a good cause) there are other ways to give back as you sample the diverse culinary creativity of the region over the next week. Select participating restaurants are adding donation lines on the bill as part of this year's new "Everyone Eats" campaign. Find a complete list of those restaurants below. For a $1 donation, you can help feed a family of five. For $10 you'll help provide 50 meals.

A few participating restaurants are also collecting donations of nonperishable food items: Das Stein Haus, The Barrel Steak & Seafood, Morty's Tap & Grille and Steelhead Bar & Grille.
