CommUNITY Dine Out 2026 — Eat Local. Love Local. Make a Difference!
We’ve cooked up the perfect recipe for success, and your participation is a key ingredient. Friday, October 9th is more than just a night to grab a great meal, it’s an opportunity to make a difference in our community!
Through CommUNITY Dine Out 2026, eight incredible local restaurants have chosen to partner with us by giving back to help meet needs right here in our community. These businesses aren't simply serving great food, they are demonstrating what it looks like to BE the community by investing in the people who call the Grand Strand home.
Proceeds from CommUNITY Dine Out will help support local needs through the Community Life Ministries of Salt Life Church, including our Back to School Fam Fest, Project A.R.C., Supporting Educators and First Responders, as well as many other opportunities throughout the year to serve families and individuals in need.
HERE'S HOW YOU CAN HELP
On Friday, October 9th, gather your family, invite some friends, and DINE OUT at one of our eight participating restaurants! 

• Crabby Mike's Seafood Buffet

• Angelo's Steak and Pasta

• Grumpy Monk (Carolina Forest Hwy 501 location ONLY)

• Bohemian Bull

• Famous Toastery

• Margaritas Mexican Restaurant (Hwy 17)

• Southern House of Pancakes

• Chile Frito

Stay tuned as more restaurants may be added

But we don't want our support to stop when CommUNITY Dine Out ends. These local restaurants have made a commitment to support our community, so let's make a commitment to support THEM, especially throughout the off-season!
Every meal matters. Every local business matters. Every act of generosity matters.
“Let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.” 1 John 3:18
This is what Community Life is all about: churches, businesses, families, organizations, and neighbors coming together and using what God has placed in our hands to serve others.
So mark your calendar for FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9TH! Come hungry, bring some friends, support local, and help us continue making an impact throughout our community.
EAT LOCAL.
SUPPORT LOCAL.
MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
TOGETHER, WE DINE. TOGETHER, WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
And when our local restaurants step up to support our community, let's show up to support them!
