CONGRATULATIONS Billie's Diner!

If you have not been to Billie’s Diner then you are sorely missing out! Go check out the deliciousness!

Billie’s Diner has been selected as one of 15 restaurants in the country to receive the Toast Changemakers Grant—a $10,000 grant supporting restaurants making a real impact on food insecurity.

We believe that the quality of a community is reflected in the quality of its food. From day one, we've been committed to expanding access locally grown food.

That mission came to life through the Giving Wall, a pay-it-forward meal board where anyone can pre-purchase a meal for someone in need. In just one year, Billie's has provided nearly 2,000 meals. What began as a simple idea—neighbors feeding neighbors—has grown into a catalyst for generosity, connection, and hope.

Receiving this grant will allow us to not only keep the Giving Wall funded for another year but also expand our food-access initiatives, including launching quarterly Community Meal Nights, bringing neighbors together around a shared table.

🧡 Want to be part of it?
Between now and November 22, community members interested in donating to the Giving Wall will also be entered in our Feed-It-Forward Raffle, a campaign to raise meal funds.

🔗 Donate at billiesdiner.com/feed-it-forward or visit us in Airway Heights.
