Presented by Fred Anderson’s Prestige Subaru and with support from the Asheville Independent Restaurant Association, Dining Out For Life is one of the oldest and most popular HIV fundraisers in North Carolina, celebrating both our local restaurant industry and those living and thriving with HIV in our neighborhoods.
The success of this year’s Dining Out For Life will ensure that those doubly impacted by HIV and Hurricane Helene will not be overlooked in the midst of our region’s widespread need. Like others in Asheville, WNCAP clients, many of whom rely on medical case management for HIV care as well as social, emotional, and financial support, have experienced unimaginable losses because of the storm. This year, we are calling on our entire community to Dine Out on Thursday, April 24th, in support of those impacted by HIV, in support of our rebuilding restaurant community, and in support of a healthier Western North Carolina for all.

We cannot thank enough the participating restaurants and their wait staff, our volunteers, WNCAP employees, and everyone in the community who dines out, donates, and supports HIV care and prevention in our region through participation in Dining Out For Life.
Dining Out For Life® is an annual fundraising event involving the generous participation of volunteers, corporate sponsors, and restaurants. The concept is simple: Restaurants donate a generous percent of their sales to a local HIV service organization, and the local HIV service organization fills participating restaurants with diners. Participating is even easier: locate a Dining Out For Life event in a city near you, find a restaurant from the list of participating locations, and on that city’s event date: Dine Out to End HIV.
Each year, more than 50 local HIV service organizations partner with 2,400+ participating restaurants, 4,100+ volunteers, and 300,000+ diners to raise over $4.5 million for people living with HIV/AIDS in the United States and Canada. Best part? All funds raised through a city’s Dining Out For Life event stay in that city to provide help and hope to people living with or impacted by HIV/AIDS.
