Operation Dine-Out: 2025

Giving Tuesday is December 2, and we're kicking it off with our annual appeal to help us raise critical funds to support women & children survivors of domestic violence. Every dollar donated will be used to deliver gift cards to grocery stores and local restaurants to bring a little joy for the holidays.

Taking action

Plates with Purpose was established in December 2020 to create a value exchange between local individuals and families affected by food insecurity, and independent restaurants that are still trying to regain their footing.

Every gift donated goes directly to cover the costs of meal preparation and delivery.

"Act as if what you do makes a difference. 
It does."

~ William James
