Welcome to DineKind!
DineKind gives back to the community and served a vegan feast (similar to our ThanksLiving menu) at the Anna's House family shelter in Bel Air on Thursday, January 16.
A big thanks to Sprouts Farmers Market in Bel Air for donating 10 'Chili Kits' composed of canned beans, salsa, rice, and spices for the families. We will likely do this seasonally and we will be looking for more volunteers to cook or give donations to cover costs.
