Ochsner Eat Fit Northshore will host its 9th Annual Eat Fit Dine Out event on June 3-10th, 2022 with a new addition: a nutritious food drive for Northshore Food Bank.
Each year on Eat Fit Dine Out Week, Ochsner encourages the community to celebrate our local Eat Fit partners by dining out at these restaurants.
This year, the dietitians at Eat Fit are also encouraging community members to donate to Northshore Food Bank during the newly named: Dine Out and Donate Week.
Donation boxes will be located at the restaurants to make donating effortless. The Eat Fit team invites diners to bring their donations along with them when they dine out. The Eat Fit Donation guide on the free Eat Fit smartphone app provides specific donation ideas.
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.
Food and nutrition play key roles in the health, vitality and productivity of our community. Eat Fit partners are essential in the fight against obesity and other chronic health conditions related to diet and nutrition. Eat Fit makes it easier for people who are trying to eat better, live better and feel better.
A full list of statewide participating restaurants and food banks is available at www.EatFitDineOut.com.
