Our thanks go out to the entire community, Visit Orlando and to all the restaurants who participated.”
“We have served 1.6 million meals to date and a huge grant like this will allow us to continue to provide meals, support jobs and help people in our community. “These funds are such a blessing and we’re going to be able to help so many other families,” said John Rivers, founder & CEO, 4Roots & 4 Rivers Restaurants.

“The need to support local restaurants was greater than ever, plus we adapted the program with new measures for safety and convenience, and the community responded at a level beyond even our highest expectations.” “On behalf of Visit Orlando, our 78 participating restaurants, and all the Orlando residents who took part, we’re thrilled to share this record-breaking donation, which is especially meaningful given the challenges of 2020,” said Brian Comes, Visit Orlando board chairman. The effort is led by Orlando nonprofit 4Roots, plus public and private partners, to support Florida farmers, preserve and create jobs, and prepare and serve nutritious meals throughout Central Florida. Since Feed the Need launched in late March, over 1.6 million meals have been served, and funds raised through Magical Dining will help feed thousands more. Due to the positive increase in local business for restaurants the program was generating, Visit Orlando also extended the program an extra month this year for the longest run in its 15-year history. The donation was raised through Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining program which promoted eating and take-out at local restaurants this fall, with $1 from each meal designated for the charity. Visit Orlando today donated a record-setting $345,378 raised to help feed local residents struggling to access food during the COVID-19 crisis, to go to Feed the Need Florida.
