Sixth annual edition of Dining Out for Life
Next week is the sixth annual edition of Dining Out for Life, where 25 per cent of food sales from 65 Greater Victoria restaurants will go to AIDS Vancouver Island’s programs to prevent and treat instances of HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C.
“Diners can easily make a huge impact on the lives of so many in need in our community simply by going out to dinner” said Katrina Jensen, executive director of AVI.
