WHAT IS DINING OUT FOR LIFE?

---

Dining Out For Life^® is an annual fundraising event involving generous community participation of patrons, volunteers, corporate sponsors, and restaurants, including breweries, coffee shops, bakeries, and more. The concept is simple: restaurants donate a generous percent of their event day sales to Food For Thought, and in turn, Food For Thought works to fill participating restaurants with patrons.

Participating is easy! Find a location from the list of participating businesses, then Dine Out or Take Out on December 4 to support Food For Thought and our mission to foster health and healing with food and compassion.

DONATE for a chance TO WIN!

Donate $35 or more to Food For Thought to receive a bonus entry and a 20% Off Tuesdays Card!
