The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) has joined forces with fast-growing consumer technology company, DinnerTime, Inc., to bring grocery savings and healthy meal planning to AFT’s more than 1.6 million members, in more than 3,000 local affiliates nationwide.

“The AFT is deeply committed to supporting our members in their busy 24-7 lives, shared Lorretta Johnson, Secretary-Treasurer of the AFT. “Bringing state-of-the-art services to our members strengthens families and communities, and is directly aligned with our mission and goals. With DinnerTime, AFT members can save money, eat healthier, and can even find union grocers in their region, marked with the Union Yes logo!”

Automatically using “what’s on sale this week” at a member’s favorite local grocery store, DinnerTime’s mobile-friendly website creates highly personalized, delicious meal recommendations based upon a person’s – or family’s -- unique tastes, budget, and time constraints, as well as any health concerns, food allergies and other dietary restrictions and preferences. No more wondering: what’s for dinner? Delicious, kitchen-tested recipes, shopping lists, and more! “Happiness now being served!” TM

“As a single mom with three children in public school, I am so pleased that we will be supporting AFT members and their families” said DinnerTime co-founder Sharon Lacy. “I personally know how crazy busy and challenging life can be and how wonderful it is to have planned ahead and shopped ahead instead of being out of control. As we say, DinnerTime changes lives! TM ”
