“Dine United is a day for you to “dine out” to help those in need have a night in. At restaurants who are joining in this act of local love, a portion of your meal proceeds will be reinvested in food and shelter for people in need,” said Karen
Rathke, Heartland United Way president. “Check out the list of participating restaurants to enjoy a meal, support the restaurant and know you are sharing warm meals and safe shelter with others.”
