WHAT IS DINING OUT FOR LIFE?
Dining Out For Life is an annual fundraising event that brings together local restaurants, diners, and community partners to support HIV services. On one designated day each year, participating restaurants donate a portion of their sales to local organizations providing care and support for people living with or impacted by HIV.
The concept is simple: you dine out, and your meal gives back. Restaurants contribute a percentage of their proceeds, and the community shows up to fill those tables and make an impact.
Across the U.S. and Canada, this collective effort raises millions of dollars each year — and most importantly, the funds raised stay local, directly supporting services in your own community.
