Forty local restaurants will be helping to support St. Joseph Diner on May 12, with participating restaurants donating 10% of proceeds to the organization, which provides meals for people experiencing food insecurity or homelessness.

The Dine for the Diner annual campaign raises money for St. Joseph Diner, which has been active since 1983. Operated by Catholic Charities of Acadiana, the organization expanded operations recently, adding three new "diner mobiles."
