HOW DOES DINING OUT FOR LIFE WORK?

All funds raised by Dining Out For Life WNY go toward medical and supportive services for people who are living with HIV at WNY’s leading HIV care provider, Evergreen Health.

1. Make plans to dine out or order take out on April 30, 2026 at participating restaurants for breakfast, lunch, dinner — or all the above!

2. Invite everyone you know to do the same.  

3. Spread the word in person, on Facebook, on Instagram, EVERYWHERE! 

4. Dine out at a participating restaurant on April 30. All you need to do is enjoy your meal as usual, and the restaurant will donate a generous portion (25-50%) of your meal to the HIV services provided by Evergreen Health.
