Come chow down, meet new friends, and make a difference at the same time! We meet at Orange County restaurants which donate a percentage of our meal proceeds to CARE, a leading humanitarian organization. CARE works in communities around the world to improve basic education, increase access to clean water and sanitation, expand economic opportunity, prevent the spread of HIV, protect natural resources, and assist survivors of war and natural disasters.

Just join our free Meetup group online, and you'll be notified of all events. You do not, however, have to join our Meetup online in order to participate in our events.

* DON'T FORGET to bring an event flyer to dinner (see individual dinner's Calendar listing). Restaurants require one from each participant. *

As of 6/20/08, we've raised $79.51 for CARE!

      I feel horrible every time I eat a meal knowing that there are so many starving people around the world, so if I can eat and help at the same time, that is ideal :)

      I liked the idea of eating and helping out. As well as the opportunity to meet like minded people.
