DINE OUT. GIVE BACK.
Mark your calendar for the 25th Annual Dining Out For Life on Thursday, December 3, 2026!
Enjoy a delicious meal at a participating restaurant, and a portion of your purchase will support Food For Thought’s mission of providing nutritious groceries and meals to people living with serious medical conditions.
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 3 to support Food For Thought and our mission to foster health and healing with food and compassion.
