The organization formed in 2002 when retired nurse Marsha Wallace, a mother of four from Greenville, North Carolina, read an article about friends who met for potluck dinners and donated the money that would have been spent on restaurant meals.

Making dinner is not the only culinary activity in Heilig’s life. She and Linda Baxter, a retired nurse midwife, founded a local chapter of Dining for Women, a national organization with chapters all over America.

An international organization, Dining for Women’s motto is “changing the world, one woman, one girl, one dinner at a time.”
