Chow Down for BARCS – June 25-29, 2025

Date & Time: Wednesday, June 25, 2025, 8:00 AM – Sunday, June 29, 2025, 11:00 PM

Location: Participating restaurants, cafes, bars, breweries, and food trucks across Maryland

Chow Down for BARCS is back—and this time it’s bigger and better! From June 25 to June 29, join us for a multi-day dine-out fundraiser benefiting the Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter (BARCS). Whether you’re grabbing brunch, dinner, drinks, or coffee, your visit to a participating location helps animals in need. A portion of sales will be donated directly to BARCS’ lifesaving programs.

After a successful launch in 2024 with 28 restaurant partners, this year’s extended format allows more flexibility for both diners and businesses. Supporters can dine in, order out, or sip with friends—all while making a difference in the lives of shelter animals.
