Incredible Dining for an Incredible Cause

In 2026, $1 from every $40 meal and $2 from every $60 meal served during Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining presented by Orlando Health will provide support for OCA (Opportunity, Community, Ability), which empowers individuals with autism and other developmental differences — from as early as 18 months through adulthood — while also supporting their families, many of whom face financial barriers to care and long-term services. To date, Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining has raised nearly $3.3 million for local nonprofits, with more to come this year.

OCA partners with organizations like Special Olympics, United States Tennis Association, A Gift for Teaching, Orlando Family Stage and Central Florida Vocal Arts. Proceeds from Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining will go toward therapy scholarships, helping increase access to critical services and support, as well as programs that guide adults with special needs in defining life after high school with purpose, independence, and meaningful connection.

To ensure this donation has widespread impact throughout our community, Visit Orlando will also award a $3,000 donation to one local nonprofit in each of Orange County’s six commission districts that also support this cause.

They include:

• Children’s Safety Village

• The Daily Bread

• Nathaniel’s Hope

• NextStep Orlando

• The Nurture Place

• Victim Service Center
