To celebrate opening day of its second Connecticut restaurant, there will be a pop-up with sweetgreen’s local supplier Mike Organics and giveaways from local partners including Darien Flower Shop and Flour Water Salt’s chocolate chip cookies for the kids. For every meal sold on opening day, the restaurant announced, it will donate a meal to Food Rescue US for people in Fairfield County experiencing food insecurity. Food Rescue US alleviates hunger nationwide by transferring excess fresh food from local businesses to social service agencies serving individuals and families in need.
