Put creative powers to DineAid’s use, win a glorious feast—DEADLINE EXTENDED

While things have certainly calmed down a bit since the ’80s, this industry still has an undoubted penchant for lunching—and especially so over the silly season. It also has the skills required to draw attention to things and DineAida charity that helps feed the homeless and hungry, is joining forces with Pead PR and StopPress to combine these two elements into one competition, with creative Kiwi types being asked to produce a short video that tells the DineAid story. 

As well as giving something back to the community, the winning team gets a long lunch valued at $2,500 at one of Auckland’s finest restaurants and the winning student team will get a $300 bar tab. But wait, there’s more. StopPress readers will also be asked to vote to decide on the winner of the People’s Choice award, which will earn the winning agency $500 to spend at a top eatery.

For those unfamiliar with the charity, here’s what DineAid is all about:

One meal can help grace many tables

Eating out has never been so rewarding. DineAid presents an opportunity to enjoy a delicious dining experience and put food on the table of someone less fortunate.

It’s an annual initiative from DineAid. Choose a DineAid restaurant or café during November and December and you are given the opportunity to put food on more than one table.

It’s a simple enough programme – diners add $2 to their bill so they can enjoy their meal comfortable in the knowledge it’s more than their own appetites they’re replenishing.

The funds are collected by participating restaurants and cafés and distributed through food parcels by the Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch City Missions. DineAid has raised nearly $400,000 in the past five years – this year it’s hoping to raise more than $100,000 during the DineAid period.

If you’re going to dine out in November or December – and who isn’t with summer underway and Christmas beckoning – make sure you choose a DineAid restaurant and put food on more than one table.
