Join US ON April 23, 2026!!!

Action Wellness is proud to announce that Dining Out For Life® is returning for the 36th time on Thursday, April 23, 2026!!!

Dining Out For Life® was created in 1991 by the organization which at the time was called Action AIDS. The event now takes place nationally but continues to serve the same purpose of raising money for community-based organizations serving persons living with or at high-risk of acquiring HIV. Our goal for 2026, is to raise $90,000!!!

The concept is simple: when you dine out at a participating location, a percentage of your bill will be donated to a local HIV service organization. Here in Philadelphia and the surrounding area, proceeds go directly towards Action Wellness and help fund our life-sustaining programs.

There’s no better way to satisfy your hunger and make a difference in your community! So, mark your calendars, start getting a get a group together, and work up those appetites!*

In 2026, let’s 86 HIV!!! No Stigma, No Shame, No New Infections, No One Facing HIV Alone!!!


*Stay tuned for the list of participating restaurants and establishments participating this year!
