Travel, dining out, and helping charities all at the same time

Another "rabbit hole" I fell down recently. I noticed somewhere that some restaurants have begun asking for a donation to charity when making a reservation.This seemed like a real "win-win" since so many people don't honour their reservations.I think most diners would welcome paying something towards a charity for being able to make a reservation. And then I learned about this group that is a clearing house to give unsold hotel rooms and other perks to folks who have donated their time to charities.
