Open Hand's 21st Annual Dining Out for LifeDining Out for Life 2013 to benefit Open Hand: a tremendous success!
Dining Out for Life (DOFL), one of Open Hand's largest annual fundraising events, weathered Mother Nature's threats as thousands of people from all over the metro Atlanta area chose their favorite participating restaurant and dined out -- knowing that 25% or more of their bill would be donated by the restaurant to benefit the community nutrition programs of Open Hand. Our community's support and participation helped ensure that Open Hand can continue to deliver over 5,000 nutritious meals every day, provide nutrition education, therapy and coaching, and empower our neighbors battling chronic disease and disability to live healthier, independent lives. Recently Open Hand delivered our 20 millionth meal since our founding in 1988. “Celebrating the delivery of Open Hand’s 20 millionth meal is a remarkable milestone made possible by volunteers, community partners and donors who have supported us since our early days in Atlanta,” said Jacqueline Yeaney, co-president of the Open Hand Board of Directors. That certainly includes our DOFL restaurants and the thousands of people like you that participate in this event, unified in your desire to make a difference in our community. Thank you to our wonderful participating restaurants!
