Dining Out For Life® Returns April 20

We invite everyone to dine in, take out, or order curbside-delivery from their favorite participating restaurant on Tuesday, April 20.
Editor 5 years ago 2 min read

Nashville, Tenn. – Once each year Nashville CARES partners with area restaurants to support its mission to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Middle Tennessee. More than 40 and counting restaurants are participating in the 19th annual Dining Out For Life® presented by PhRMA. We invite everyone to dine in, take out, or order curbside-delivery from their favorite participating restaurant on Tuesday, April 20. A portion of the bill for each meal, whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or dinner, will go directly to Nashville CARES, which is not only working to eliminate HIV, but also provides lifesaving health care and services to thousands of its clients.

An added benefit to this year’s Dining Out For Life® event is each meal purchased also supports participating restaurants and the staff who have been impacted during the COVID pandemic. The 2020 event was canceled due to the tornadoes that cut through a large swath of Middle Tennessee and the COVID pandemic and that’s why we’re especially pleased to partner with area restaurants this year.

Nashville CARES serves more than 50,000 Middle Tennesseans who are at-risk or living with HIV. 95 percent of every dollar raised goes directly to client services, including nutrition, transportation, housing & utilities, behavioral health and numerous other critical services to those who come to Nashville CARES for support. In addition, we recently opened My House Clinic, an inclusive primary care health center that also specializes in sexual health.

For the most up-to-date list of participating restaurants, please visit diningoutforlife.com/nashville. If you’re unable to participate on April 20, and would like to contribute to Nashville CARES’s mission, you can do so by clicking the donate tab. More information about Nashville CARES can be found on NashvilleCARES.org.

At the top of the image is a pink icon showing a maze, with a headline below reading “The Trans Youth Emergency Project Helps Families Through the Maze of Accessing Gender-Affirming Care.” Below that are three icons with text. The first is a blue and pink compass with text reading “Patient Navigation to out-of-state healthcare options,” the second is a network with a person in the middle, reading “Ecosystem of care where families can reliably turn” and the final is a blue and pink gift with text that reads “Emergency grants to offset travel and medicine costs.” Beneath that is the Trans Youth Emergency Project logo, and a line that says ““www.TransYouthEmergencyProject.org” Trans Youth Emergency Project Supports Trans Youth, Families 2 min read
