HOW WE GOT STARTED
Dining for Dollars first started after Hurricane Katrina destroyed the homes and lives of thousands of people living in New Orleans, LA. and along the Gulf Coast, in 2015. In an effort to continue supporting the organizations we had been working with to rebuild the lives of these people we came up with this idea for a fundraiser.
Since that first meal delivery, Dining for Dollars has raised money for immigrants, school girls, food pantries, hurricane relief, after school programs and street children. We have raised more than $174,000 thanks to the generous gifts of our donors.
Dining for Dollars comes together once a year, during the holidays, when life is busy and everyone feels there is too little time to get everything done. To take some of the pressure off you, our D4$ elves make a full lasagna dinner and deliver it right to your door.
There is no event to go to, no new dress to buy, and best of all you don’t need to cook that night. Some people make the meal casual like most other nights and some invite friends and make it a party. You can order as much food as the number of guests you’ll have at your table. You provide the wine!!
Just be sure to submit your order by 6:00 PM on December 6th!
