Ochsner Eat Fit will host the 7th Annual Eat Fit Dine Out Day on Aug. 7. Eat Fit Dine Out helps support the Eat Fit team of dietitians in educating and empowering Louisiana residents to live their healthiest, strongest lives possible.
In previous years, restaurants would donate a portion of Dine Out sales to benefit the Eat Fit philanthropy fund, but in response to COVID-19’s impact on the local restaurant industry, all proceeds raised in Eat Fit restaurants will stay in the restaurant. This year, the giveback is 100% to our Eat Fit Partners.
“As restaurants reopen at limited capacities across the state and move into a period of hope and healing, our Eat Fit team is here to support the recovery efforts of our Eat Fit partners,” said Molly Kimball, RD, Ochsner Eat Fit founder. “Over the years, they’ve nourished our community with their Eat Fit dishes, and now it’s our turn to help nourish them.”
Ochsner Eat Fit works alongside restaurant chefs and owners, and within the community, to make the healthy choice the easy choice. Eat Fit also supports nutrition education for culinary teaching programs, community cooking classes, development of Eat Fit opportunities in under-served areas, and nutrition-related events in schools, churches, and grocery stores.
