Chow Down for BARCS


Chow Down for BARCS is a dine-out fundraiser where supporters visit participating restaurants, cafes, bars, breweries, food trucks or to-go businesses across Maryland. In return, our partners donate a portion of sales back to BARCS to support our lifesaving work for animals in need.

After a successful launch in 2024 with 28 participating restaurants, we’re excited to bring Chow Down for BARCS back for a second year—this time as a multi-day event, running June 25 through June 29. The expanded format gives restaurant partners the flexibility to participate on multiple days or simply choose the dates that work best for their business, and allows for more attendees to support the event too!

Interested in participating as a business?

As a participating business, you'll be featured on our official event landing page, which includes your location, hours and whether you have a dog-friendly patio—so our supporters can plan their visit. This year, we’ve simplified how restaurants can get involved in Chow Down for BARCS. Whether you’re joining us as a dining location, an event sponsor—or both—your support helps save lives and brings your brand in front of thousands of animal-loving Marylanders.
