Family Dinner Project
About
The Family Dinner Project is a nonprofit initiative, started in 2010, that champions family dinner as a chance for family members to connect through food, fun and conversation about things that matter. It points to more than 20 years of research on why family mealtimes matter and sets out to provide the how for busy families, working online and at community events with nonprofit partners and local champions.
A daily feature called Dinner Tonight offers a fresh helping of food, fun and conversation ideas, and seasonal guides add themed prompts, such as conversation starters for Halloween. A Budget Friendly program provides recipes and resources for a week’s worth of dinners at low cost. A podcast covers topics such as food positivity and dinner with older adults, and Dr. Anne Fishel writes about what counts as a family dinner.
