Dine Out for Our Schools
September 17, 2026
Eat local. Support local students.
Join the Linn-Mar School Foundation and Marion School Foundation for Dine Out for Our Schools, a community-wide fundraiser held each April and September.
Participating is easy: grab your morning coffee, meet a friend for lunch, or enjoy dinner with your family at one of our participating local restaurants. Each restaurant will donate a portion of its event-day sales to support students in the Linn-Mar and Marion Independent school districts.
Together, Dine Out for Our Schools events raise approximately $12,000 each year to support classroom grants, innovative educational programs, scholarships, and other opportunities for PreK–12 students across both districts.
Before You Dine
Review the list of participating restaurants, locations, and event hours. Participation may vary by location.
Check whether the restaurant requires you to mention Dine Out for Our Schools or present the event flyer.
Unless otherwise noted, dine-in and carryout purchases made during the restaurant’s designated event hours will count toward the fundraiser.
Every cup of coffee, quick lunch, and family dinner can make a difference. Thank you for supporting local restaurants and local students—one meal at a time!
