In the heart of greater Jacksonville, a movement is emerging that blends the simple pleasure of dining with the impactful work of philanthropy. It's a celebration of good food and an even greater cause. Northeast Florida AIDS Network (NFAN) is excited to invite you to join Dining Out For Life® Jacksonville as we mark our 20th anniversary, an important milestone in our fight against HIV, on Thursday, April 16, 2026. The event supports the NFAN Mary H. Lewis Food Pantry and aims to reach new heights in combating the HIV epidemic.

Dining Out for Life® is more than just a fundraising event; it serves as a beacon of hope that engages over 50 cities across the U.S. and Canada, raising more than $4.5 million each year to support HIV services. What's even more inspiring is that all funds raised during a city's Dining Out for Life® event remain in that city, providing direct support to our neighbors living with HIV. This event offers an opportunity for our local community to come together and make a real difference.

Support local restaurants that give back to our community!

Dining Out For Life® is a 24-hour fundraising event scheduled for Thursday, April 16, 2026. We invite the community to enjoy a meal at participating restaurants and bars to support those in need in Northeast Florida. By dining in, ordering takeout, or having dinner delivered, you can help make a difference! Participating restaurants and bars will donate 25% or more of your bill to the NFAN Mary H. Lewis Food Pantry. Join us for this great cause!
