Hemingway's helped raise $1,000 for the Central Missouri Food Bank during a promotion in which the restaurant encouraged participants to donate to the organization. Hemingway's offered a free lunch on Wednesday, and more than 200 people came by to sample a new menu designed by new Executive Chef Jesse Williams.

Hemingway's Co-Owner Van Allen said, "The event was fantastic, but donating to the food bank makes it all that much sweeter." Central Missouri Food Bank Executive Director Peggy Kirkpatrick said the money raised will provide approximately 20,000 pounds of food, "which translates into 15,000 meals for people who really need it."
