What advice do you have to help me grow my idea?
Idea Description
Allow restaurant patrons to donate a portion of their meal to a local food bank. Typical restaurant portions are large enough to feed a family of four. Create a program that will allow restaurant patrons to donate 25% of their meal to a local food bank. This portion would not be served but remain in the kitchen and matched by the restaurant. The restaurant would combine all donated portions and then call for pick up at the end of the evening. The food would be distributed to the homeless and needy within 24 hours. Tax break for donor.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
Create awareness of the program by soliciting sponsor restaurants. Create awareness in the general community. Partner with local food banks and solicit voluneteers to do nightly collections.

Excellent idea. This could piggy-back on the airline program of donating left over in-flight meals to food banks.
great idea if you can get past the legal and food contamination issues that have kept ideas like this from progressing in the past.
Great idea!!!!!
Great idea! If there is a way to give either the restaurant or patron a tax break, more the better. The key will be coordinating timely delivery of the food.
This sounds like a great idea that can help combat two problems at once- obesity and helping those who don't have enough to eat.
I am a weight watcher (as well as a Weight Watcher!) and find it difficult at times not to eat everything served to me in a restaurant. This idea is intriguing because it is a "win-win" dining-out experience: if I so choose I can opt for a slightly smaller amount of food and in return will leave with a happy and healthy heart!
