Dining for Dementia: Supporting the Alzheimer Society This January
January is Alzheimer Awareness Month, and what better way to support this important cause than by enjoying a delicious meal at your favorite local restaurants? This month, restaurants across Durham Region are coming together to participate in the Dining for Dementia fundraising campaign, aiming to support nearly 12,000 people in this community living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.
Participating in Dining for Dementia is simple and impactful. Visit one of the participating restaurants during January, and a portion of your meal costs will be donated to the Alzheimer Society of Durham Region. These generous establishments are part of the campaign:
Funds raised through Dining for Dementia will help provide essential services, including:
-
Counseling, support groups, and social recreation programs for individuals living with dementia and their families.
-
Education and training for health care professionals, local businesses, and the community to make Durham Region more dementia-friendly.
Every bite counts toward making a difference in the lives of those affected by dementia. Whether you’re craving a cozy coffee, a savory burger, or a delightful cup of tea, these restaurants offer the perfect excuse to treat yourself while supporting a meaningful cause.
Don’t miss this opportunity to give back to your community. Make your next meal matter by dining at one of the participating locations and spreading the word about Dining for Dementia. Together, we can help provide much-needed resources to those who need it most.
