FISHKILL, N.Y., Aug. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Family Dinner Night™ – a philanthropic movement dedicated to getting families back to the dinner table – is excited to announce the launch of its “One More Meal a Week Together” initiative currently underway in Fishkill, New York.
Despite the significant benefits families get from eating together, only 30% are doing so, less than ever before, according to a recent study by Harvard Graduate School of Education. This grassroots initiative encourages families to sit down at the dinner table for just “One More Meal a Week Together,” with Family Dinner Night™ providing the “how”, i.e. tips and tricks from real families.
Representatives from the Family Dinner Night™ movement are collaborating with local businesses and community officials to help make it easier for families to get together for dinner. The Family Dinner Night™ team is surprising residents with random acts of kindness – gifting free groceries, offering complimentary dining experiences, hosting giveaways and more – as a way to cover every day costs of living for busy families. The catch? There isn’t one. Family Dinner Night™ simply asks that recipients of these acts use the money they saved or received to have One More Meal a Week Together.
The initiative will also recognize individuals whose commitment to community often takes them away from meal times with their own families. Family Dinner Night™ will be hosting events that give back to first responders, medical professionals, firefighters and local heroes.
