30th Annual "Dining Out For Life" Fundraiser Returns to Baltimore City and Surrounding Counties to Feed People, Fortify Health, and Foster Hope

Fundraiser will benefit Moveable Feast with a one-day dining-in or carry-out event on October 5, 2023

Baltimore, MD – Moveable Feast's 30th annual Dining Out For Life fundraiser is raising critical funds to deliver food to people with serious illnesses. By supporting the organization's mission to provide home-delivered, medically tailored meals to individuals living at the intersection of serious chronic illness and food insecurity in Maryland, restaurant-goers can directly support people who are unable to afford, prepare or access healthy food. Dining Out For Life is a celebration and community partnership with Maryland’s restaurant industry.

This year, dine out or order in with participating restaurants to support Moveable Feast. The event seeks to raise $82,500 through a donated percentage of sales from each restaurant partner and direct donations from the community. To meet this goal in years past, Moveable Feast has partnered with community favorites, including Artifact Coffee, Blue Pit BBQ & Whisky Bar, The Brewer’s Art, Gertrude’s, Silver Queen Café, and more.

Support of Dining Out for Life will help us raise needed funds and create awareness for Moveable Feast's vital programs. Join us in this movement to nourish, comfort, and educate, and together we can feed more people and build a healthier

"No one should have to choose between feeding their family and taking care of their health. Dining Out for Life is an easy way for anyone to support the Moveable Feast's home-delivered meals for people living with a serious illness. For 30 years, restaurants and community members have been a part of the movement to recognize that food is medicine. Dine out on Oct. 5th and help us set a place at the table for everyone who needs medically tailored meals in Maryland, "stated Executive Director Sue Elias.

The movement to nourish, comfort, and educate continues to gain momentum because others are just now discovering something we’ve known all along: food is medicine. By simply Dining Out for Life at one of our restaurant partners on Oct. 5th, we can break down barriers to health access and improve the lives of thousands of Marylanders who are chronically ill.

Moveable Feast operates on the belief that Food is Medicine. By eating healthy, our clients can strengthen their bodies and better fortify their health. Clients receiving our medically tailored meals have improved health outcomes, fewer infections, reduced hospitalizations, and less dependence on emergency rooms for primary health care. This results in lower health costs for us all. In 2022, we delivered 452,468 meals to 1,743 people living with chronic illness in Maryland.
