Feed the Need Florida

Incredible Dining for an Incredible Cause

In 2020, Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining will benefit Feed the Need Florida, a public and private collaboration that works to feed people who have found it challenging to gain access to healthy food during the COVID-19 crisis. The effort is led by Orlando nonprofit 4Roots, along with a network of both public and private partners, to receive produce directly from Florida farmers, preserve and create jobs, and prepare nutritious meals to be served throughout Central Florida.

As residents know, the Orlando area faces overwhelming demand for the services provided by Feed the Need. The organization has already served nearly 1 million meals in the region, and those numbers are only expected to grow in the coming months.

In addition to Feed the Need receiving $1 from every meal served during Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining, participating restaurants will give you the option to increase your donation to this exceptional cause and the Central Florida community.
