Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining®: Eat for a Cause

Through Visit Orlando, $1 from every $40 meal and $2 from every $60 meal served during Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining benefit one or more local nonprofits that help people in need. Which means that, in addition to offering outstanding meals at outstanding prices, Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining provides you with the opportunity to support outstanding causes.

In 2023, donated funds will focus on The Lifeboat Project, an organization that raises awareness on the issue of human trafficking, empowering the lives of survivors through short and long-term aftercare, residential programs and education. Proceeds from this year’s program will provide support for The Lifeboat Project’s mental health counseling and trauma recovery, as well as assist with human trafficking prevention and education.

To ensure this donation has widespread impact throughout our community, Visit Orlando will also award a $2,000 donation to one local nonprofit in each of Orange County’s six commission districts that also support this cause. They include:
