Dine out and do good this festive season at these eateries that are raising funds and giving back

This festive season, over 60 restaurants across Aotearoa are joining the DineAid Christmas campaign to support City Missions nationwide. From now until 31st December, diners can add $2 to their bill or selected dishes, with 100% of funds aiding local food banks. Now in its 12th year, DineAid hopes to raise $80,000, providing crucial support during a time of increased need.

This festive season, choose to dine at participating venues (a list of which you’ll find here), to help those in need this Christmas.
