One of WNC’s oldest and most delectable fundraisers will return this spring: the WNC AIDS Project’s Dining Out for Life. Taking place Thursday, April 27 at ~100 participating eateries, it’s an effortless way to give back to the community.

A partnership with the Asheville Independent Restaurant Association , the annual event encourages folks to support our local independent restaurants as they donate 20% of sales to WNC AIDS Project on the day of the event.

Best of all? Whether you’re craving Italian, Indian, or ice cream, you’ll find it all that day, thanks to these participating restaurants:

  • Vinnie’s Italian
  • The Hop
  • Chai Pani
  • Plant
  • 828 Family Pizzeria
  • 12 Bones Smokehouse

Pro tip: More restaurants are added daily, so be sure to peep the list to stay up to date.
