Dine with a Purpose at Vitor’s Bistro

Celebrating National Adoption Month

Vitor’s Bistro & Sushi Bar invites the community to “Dine With a Purpose” and support children and families served by NewPath.

Dine With a Purpose at Vitor’s Bistro in Honor of National Adoption Month (Bright, IN) — This November, in recognition of National Adoption Month, Vitor’s Bistro & Sushi Bar invites the community to “Dine With a Purpose” and support children and families served by NewPath Child & Family Solutions.

This special fundraiser is deeply personal for Chef Vitor, who shares:
“I grew up in foster care… and I MADE IT. I want to support an organization that I wish I had growing up—one that helps kids who often fall through the cracks.”

Challenges Youth Face After Aging Out of Foster Care

  • Homelessness: 20–38% of youth who age out of foster care experience homelessness by age 26.
  • Substance Use: Former foster youth who are homeless show high rates of substance use, often linked to trauma and lack of support.
    Up to 40% of foster youth report experiencing some form of abuse, which correlates with later substance use.
  • Education & Employment: Fewer than 3% of youth who age out earn a college degree.
    Only 55% are employed by age 21.

Event Details

Vitor’s Bistro will donate 15% of all dine-in proceeds on three select Thursdays to NewPath Child & Family Solutions.

  • Event Dates: November 6th, 13th, and 20th
  • Dine-In Hours: 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM
