Dining for Charities: Helping You Fight Inflation

Feb 06, 2025 ● By Bill Evans

I am surprised every day that people still do not know about Dining for Charities here in Columbus. WLTZ NBC 38 brought DFC to Columbus in the middle of 2018 and, through their program, has been able to donate over $110,000 to local nonprofit organizations. The program is also active in Phenix City, Opelika, and Auburn through WLTZ NBC 38.


Tips for Getting the Most Out of DFC

  • Read the full description: Each deal on our website has specific details, like minimum purchase amounts or conditions. Remember, our deal partners aren’t “giving away their business.” They offer these savings as a way to support the community.
  • Plan for delivery: We mail hard copies of the certificates, which can take 4–9 business days to arrive. Sometimes the mail takes longer—please reach out to us if you haven’t received them in a reasonable amount of time.
  • Perfect for gifts: Dining for Charities certificates are a great way to say "thank you" to employees or customers. We can customize a gift program for your business or nonprofit.

What Is Dining for Charities?

Dining for Charities allows you to save 25-50% on local dining and activities while giving back to the community. For every purchase, 15% goes directly to a local nonprofit organization.
