On the last Thursday of April, Dining Out For Life encourages residents of Asheville and surrounding counties 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. Now in its 23nd year, 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.
