March 1-14: Great Plates returns to Fort Collins

The charitable and tasty Great Plates is back again this year, starting Sunday in downtown Fort Collins.

For the first two weeks of March, diners can get breakfast and dinner specials at 35 downtown restaurants.

Each restaurant will offer a different dinner menu option for $25, including dinners for two and multi-course dinners. Other restaurants will offer breakfast deals for $2.50.

The discounts are meant to inspire diners to donate an additional amount after their meals to the Food Bank for Larimer County. A $10 donation will provide 40 meals, according to the food bank, which hopes to raise $60,000 from Great Plates 2015.

Last year Great Plates of Downtown raised $53,500 to donate to the food bank.

WHEN: March 1 - 14
