WHAT IS DINING OUT FOR LIFE?
Dining Out For Life® is a community collaboration and annual fundraising event for Food For Thought. On event day, restaurants donate a percent of sales to Food For Thought. In turn, Food For Thought works to fill participating restaurants. It’s a win-win!
In 2024, generous event sponsors, participating restaurants, hundreds of volunteers, and thousands of people who dined out raised over $220,000 to feed our Sonoma County neighbors in need.

Good for Community. Good for Business.
For decades FFT has played an incredibly important role in our community, literally nourishing those in need at critical moments in their lives. As a volunteer over the last 10 years, I’ve seen first hand how this dynamic non-profit continues to adapt and grow to serve in a way that makes a profound difference to our neighbors facing serious medical challenges. We’re so proud that by sponsoring FFT, we can help support our beautiful community!
