STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Project Hospitality's annual restaurant-driven fundraiser has served as philanthropic paradigm for other charitable organizations in recent years. But on Thursday, April 27, the concept will see 99 participating restaurants raise money for food pantries and feeding efforts across the borough.
"This day is a metaphor, a parable, it embodies the possibility of all of us being able to eat together at the same table, and having enough room for everybody and enough food for everybody," said the Rev. Terry Troia in her address at last year's Dine Out launch.
The executive director of Project Hospitality added, "By folks coming out to restaurants and eating and sharing a meal with their friends and families... during Dine Out, they are able to provide the funds to distribute to other people's tables. We have to think of this as a one table event."
More than 20,000 eaters participated over breakfast, lunch or dinner at participating restaurants last year.
