Dining Out for Life® is this Thursday!

Be a hometown hero and dine out on Thursday, April 25th for the 17th Annual Dining Out for Life®. More than 100 restaurants in the DC Metro Region have pledged to donate 25-110% of their lunch and/or dinner proceeds to Food & Friends.

Your meal will provide many nutritious meals to children and adults facing HIV/AIDS, cancer and other life-challenging illnesses.

HERE ARE 3 WAYS YOU CAN PARTICIPATE TODAY:

MAKE A RESERVATION. Restaurants are filling up quickly so call to reserve your seat today. Open Table makes it easy for you to book at a number of participating restaurants.

SPREAD THE WORD. Tell your friends and family to dine out for a good cause. Follow Food & Friends on Facebook (/foodandfriends) and Twitter (@foodandfriends) and post about Dining Out for Life® (@DineOut4Life, #DOLDC).

DONATE TO FOOD & FRIENDS. Visit www.givedol.org and donate to support our work of caring for those with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other life-challenging illnesses. Everyone that donates will be entered into a drawing to win a 1,000 US Airways Gift Card! Also, all gifts of $40 or more will be matched by our Board of Directors.

Dining Out for Life® is an easy way to make a difference. All you have to do is exactly what you do many other nights of the week – go out to a restaurant with friends and family. The cost isn’t any higher and it gives you an excuse to order that extra piece of dessert.
