Dining Out For Life looks a little different this year…

As in 2020, WNCAP is not asking any of their restaurant partners for donations in 2021. Instead, in collaboration with Asheville Independent Restaurants (AIR) they are using this year’s event as an opportunity to promote and celebrate all the restaurants that have given back to our local community over the decades.

Dine IN For Life is simple: first, support your favorite participating restaurant on Thursday, April 29, 2021 any way you can—through takeout, dine-in, delivery, or gift card options.

Then, make a donation to WNCAP to help maintain our HIV prevention/care and harm reduction services. Anyone who donates between now and April 29 will be automatically entered into a drawing for three great prizes, including a private film screening at the Grail Moviehouse, an Asheville “Staycation,” and a $500 cash card courtesy of Mosaic Realty!

Do you want to help WNCAP and your favorite participating restaurant from the comfort of your own home? Become a Virtual Ambassador and promote Dine IN For Life on social media and by word of mouth! Email Chris at [email protected] for more information.

Check out the 2021 participating restaurants at wncap.org/about/difl. O.Henry’s and Village Wayside Bar & Grille are two of the nearly 100 participating restaurants that have supported WNCAP for many years.

Independent restaurants and local nonprofits have both faced unprecedented challenges this past year. Your support is needed more than ever—and we all need a good meal. Mark your calendars for Thursday, April 29.
