DINING FOR A DIFFERENCE 4
November 10-15, 2019
JP’s Restaurant Week – hosted by various restaurants throughout the week.
We’re working with some of JP’s premier hotspots to host this awesome restaurant week! Each restaurant will have one designated night during which they will donate a percentage of profits to Kids in Need of Defense (KIND), an organization that helps protect unaccompanied children who enter the U.S. immigration system alone find a safe haven and ensure that no child appears in court without an attorney.
So come enjoy dinner, drinks, and dessert – and you will be supporting a great cause!

Dining For a Difference 3: Recap
Dining For a Difference 3 was a part of Boston For All Week (2019) and it was a huge success! Over the course of the week, we raised over $20,000 in support of three fantastic organizations:
>
“We’re so grateful for the support of Boston For All. Their fundraising work allowed us to offer immigration bond support for members of our community at a time when the money was very needed. We were able to use the funds raised at Art for All and Dining for a Difference to get several folks out of immigration jail and back home with their families within weeks of these fundraising events.”
-
The Boston Immigration Justice Accompaniment Network (BIJAN) – providing legal representation and advocacy to immigrants in Boston facing detention and deportation.
-
Redes en Acción Venezuela – a local organization helping Venezuelan refugees settling in the Boston area.
-
Komera – an international organization promoting personal empowerment and education for girls in Rwanda.
We were honored to work with City Councilor Matt O’Malley, State Representative Nika Elugardo, and community partners to host a week-long festival of inclusion and generosity on June 9-15, 2019.
Our gracious hosts for the week:

“Boston For All has made it easy for us at KIND to connect with people in the community and raise the funds we need to help vulnerable children. Their creative and fun events – including local restaurant weeks and a fun fair for the whole community – have been awesome to attend and a huge help to our work.”
We had a great JP restaurant week during mid-term election week! JP restaurants, neighbors, and friends raised over $2,000 for Kids in Need of Defense (KIND). KIND is a national organization providing much needed advocacy and legal assistance to immigrant children and their families.

Dining For a Difference: Recap
It was so wonderful to work with our restaurant partners to present this special four-night event to raise money for the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition. So many friends and neighbors came out to eat well, enjoy time well spent, and support the movement for an inclusive nation. So many thanks to Tres Gatos, The Frogmore, Vee Vee, and Casa Verde for their wonderful participation.
