1. Dream Dinners Franchisees Give Back to Their
Communities During the Holiday Season

2. Holiday Giving Events
Four Dream Dinners franchise locations embraced the holiday spirit of giving in December by
donating one month’s worth of Dream Dinners meals to deserving families across the country
in Atlanta, Detroit, Miami and San Diego to help ease the stress of families in need during the
holiday season.
The events were free to attend for invited families and allowed the families to go home with
six servings of six different, delicious Dream Dinners meals. We partnered with four different
organizations to find deserving families in each of the four locations to help de-stress the
holiday season. The families involved were those affected by cancer, veterans from past wars
and victims of burn incidents.
“Spending time together as a family around the dinner table is so important,
especially when life throws challenges your way,” said Darin Leonard, CEO of Dream
Dinners. “We are blessed to be able to help so many deserving families during the
holiday season. Now they can avoid some of the stress of trying to plan for dinner
each night and instead connect with their family over a homemade meal.”

3. In an effort to give back to those in need this holiday
season, Dream Dinners of San Diego hosted local families
in need at their store on Wednesday, December 10 to
assemble a month’s worth of meals to enjoy with their
families. The selected participants all are actively
involved with The Burn Institute, which provides
thousands of people each year with life-saving fire and
burn prevention education, funds vital burn research and
treatment and conducts burn survivor support programs.
With the holidays quickly approaching, Dream Dinners
franchisees Lillian Sarangay and Lee Ann D’Artenay
wanted to help take the stress off these deserving
families so they didn’t have to worry about the time-
consuming tasks of shopping and preparing dinners. The
event was a true success and provided four deserving
families with a total of 144 meals.

provides America’s war heroes free
transportation services for emergency,
practical and necessary use to veterans who

En Route aims to help their members
