Here’s how it works:
✅ Stop by any time during American Flatbread hours 11:00am – 11:00pm (dine in or takeout)
✅ Enjoy delicious wood-fired flatbreads
✅ A portion of every flatbread sold goes directly to Literacy Volunteers of Greater Worcester
While you’re there, check out the candlepin bowling at American Flatbread for even more fun.
