Asheville Gears Up for Dining Out For Life on April 24!

Mark your calendars, Asheville! The much-anticipated Dining Out For Life event is making its return on April 24, 2025. This celebration isn’t just a fun day out to enjoy all the flavors our vibrant restaurant scene has to offer, but it also serves a significantly important cause: supporting individuals living with HIV in the community.

A Tradition of Giving Back

For over two decades, Dining Out For Life has been one of North Carolina’s oldest and most beloved fundraisers dedicated to HIV care. Each year, this special event not only shines a light on the steadfast efforts to assist those affected by HIV but also shows appreciation for the local restaurant industry. It’s a unique blend of gastronomy and goodwill that you simply can’t miss.

Hurricane Helene’s Impact

This year’s event hits a particularly poignant note as many in the community are still grappling with the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. The storm dealt a heavy blow to several clients of the Western North Carolina AIDS Project (WNCAP), who have faced substantial losses. The organizers of Dining Out For Life are calling on the wonderful folks of Asheville to lend their support. By dining out on this special day, you can help those doubly impacted by both the storm and the health crisis in our community.

How It Works

So, how can you get involved? Simple! On April 24, just head to any of the participating restaurants in Asheville, indulge in some tasty meals, and know that a portion of your bill will be donated to HIV care programs, outreach initiatives, and prevention services. Your meal isn’t just delicious; it’s also making a difference!

And don’t forget—while you’re enjoying your food, feel free to make additional contributions to support the local HIV care and prevention services. Every bit helps!
