What is Dining for a Difference?

  • A month-long promotion in February, 2010, which gives consumers an incentive to “Dine for a Difference” at participating restaurants in the NYC area.
  • A way to try new restaurants or go back to a restaurant you haven't visited in a while, all while giving back to your community!
  • A way to save money on your dinner throughout the month of February.

How Do I Dine for a Difference?
Simply purchase a card for only $40 and throughout the month of February, 2010, you'll receive $20 off your total dinner bill at over 50 restaurants throughout the New York City Area. Just use it twice and the card pays for itself!

Who Benefits from Dining for a Difference?
Dining for a Difference was created to build awareness and raise funds for Project Renewal, a hard-working nonprofit in New York that provides everything homeless New Yorkers need to move from the streets to independent living in the community—all under one organizational roof. 

And at Project Renewal, we don’t just provide food and shelter. Treatment programs, employment services, transitional and permanent housing services ensure clients can find a way to leave the streets for good.

For more information or to learn more, visit www.projectrenewal.org.
