HAMPTON ROADS, Va. - The Starving Artist Cafe in Norfolk is prepping their tasty plates this week with a heaping side of raising awareness. We have participated in Dining Out for Life for the past three to four years, said owner Kim Keene. This is something we need to raise community awareness for because it s 100% preventable, said LGBT Life Center CEO Stacie Walls.
For 18 years, Dining Out For Life has raised funds to help those in the Hampton Roads community living with HIV.
This year s event will take place over a four day period, April 29-May 2.
This week kicks off Dining Out For Life® San Diego (#DOFLSD) - a four-day fun opportunity to Dine Out. Take Out. and End HIV. Funds raised support The Center’s HIV Testing program, HIV prevention services, and services for those living with HIV.
Dining Out For Life® San Diego is always one of The Center s most-anticipated events and this year, we are excited to bring back this community event in a reimagined way. Since our 40+ DOFLSD restaurant locations are at reduced capacity while adhering to safety protocols, we are providing more opportunities to participate by extending this year s event to Thursday, April 29-Sunday, May 2.

MINNEAPOLIS Communities that KARE celebrates businesses, nonprofits, and people doing what they can to serve the greater good.
This week, we re focusing on a nonprofit that s igniting an appetite for giving back. Minnesota is currently living through an HIV outbreak. If we weren t living through a global pandemic, this would be front-page news today.
The urgency is apparent with every word coming from Matt Toburen. He s the Executive Director of the Aliveness Project, a nonprofit that supports Minnesotans living with HIV.
For the past five years, the state reported about three hundred new yearly cases of HIV. In 2021, the state reported 40 cases from January to the beginning of March. It s heartbreaking; it s frightening, said Toburen. We have the technology; we have the tools to end this disease, to end this epidemic. And so everything we do at Aliveness is aimed at getting that number to zero.
