Local restaurants do more than serve food—they bring people together. Through hospitality, creativity, and care, restaurants shape the spirit of our neighborhoods and strengthen our communities. At ADVOCAP’s Opportunity Center, we see firsthand how powerful a shared meal can be—especially for individuals navigating homelessness, unemployment, or food insecurity.
We’re reaching out to invite local restaurants to partner with us in a meaningful way: by donating one weekday meal per month for approximately 40 individuals at our Opportunity Center in Fond du Lac.
Why It Matters
For many who visit the Opportunity Center, access to hot, well-balanced meals is rare. Most rely on packaged or convenience foods, which lack both the nutrition and the comfort of a freshly prepared meal. Your support can make a real difference.
Each donated meal helps:
- Ensure consistent access to nutritious food
- Improve physical and mental health, reducing long-term health issues
- Create a more welcoming, dignified space that encourages stability and self-sufficiency
How You Can Help
We’re seeking restaurant partners who can donate one meal a month—just once a month—for 40 people. Meals can be delivered or arranged with our team to best fit your schedule and capacity. It’s a small commitment with a big impact.
This is a chance to extend the care you show your customers every day to those in our community who need it most. Your meal could be the highlight of someone’s week—and a reminder that they’re not alone in their journey.
Become a Partner
Interested in partnering with us? We’d love to connect and share more about how this program works. Please see our flyer below and reach out to us at oppcenter@advocap.org to learn more or to sign up as a meal donor.
Together, we can turn a simple meal into a meaningful moment of care and connection.
