Dining Out For Life is back on Thursday, April 28, 2022 and is ready to support those living with HIV in Philadelphia through the ongoing pandemic!

In 2020, Action Wellness had to make the difficult decision to modify the annual fundraising event in response to the COVID-19. Restaurants were not asked to donate and the community was asked to donate directly to Action Wellness while also asking them to support their favorite Dining Out Restaurants.

Two years later, Dining Out For Life is back for a major comeback! Area restaurants will once again donate a portion of their food sales on Thursday, April 28th to Action Wellness, to help people living with and affected by HIV in the Delaware Valley.

In 1991, a volunteer stepped up to address the AIDS epidemic in Philadelphia. In turn, local restaurants stepped in to help and Dining Out For Life became a yearly event. Since then, this event has raised millions of dollars for those living with HIV in the Philadelphia community. Dining Out For Life was founded to address an epidemic and Action Wellness rose to the challenge. We know that with your help and the support of our partnered restaurants, we can reach our fundraising goals for 2022!
