On Thursday, April 30th, the Western North Carolina AIDS Project held our annual Dining Out For Life event. Partnering again with the Asheville Independent Restaurant Association (AIR), Dining Out For Life 2026 encourages residents of Asheville and Western North Carolina to eat out at Participating Restaurants. This celebration supports both the local restaurants that host the events, and the lives of those living and thriving with HIV while raising money for WNCAP’s life-saving services. Now in its 24th year, Dining Out for Life has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
The money raised by WNCAP’s annual Dining Out for Life is more critical than ever. Donations provide care, rental assistance, and education in our fight against HIV/AIDS. Dine Out. End HIV.
