With the weather finally starting to warm up, Action Wellness* is gearing up for the annual Dining Out For Life campaign. This campaign is a win-win for the Philadelphia community, raising awareness and funds for those living and affected by HIV/AIDS. For the salubrious occasion, Dining Out For Life is bringing back our favorite foodie fundraising events to support their philanthropy mission.
6th Annual Food Truck Pop Up
For the first time ever, the Annual Food Truck Pop Up will take place on a weekend! From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, April 14, roam the 1300 Block of Locust Street to nibble on some delicious eats from 15 local food trucks. Taste favorites such as Waffles & Wedges, Mom-Mom’s Kitchen & Polish Food Cart, Cupcake Carnivale, and so much more. As a new feature to the event, Yards Brewing Company will have a beer tent on location. They’ll serve up fan favorites as well as the Action IPA. This brew was made exclusively for Action Wellness and Dining Out For Life. To contribute to HIV/AIDS awareness, all food vendors will be donating 33% of their sales back to the organizations.
Dining Out For Life
On Thursday, April 19, Action Wellness and Dining Out For Life are partnering with 200 different restaurants across the Delaware Valley. People can dine out with their family and friends at participating restaurants, including Bing Bing Dim Sum, Le Virtu, Serpico, Stargazy, and much more. As a part of the program, they will donate 33% of their sales back to Action Wellness as well. These proceeds raised will be geared towards local efforts to benefit those living and affected by HIV/AIDS.
Keep On Giving… All April Long
Aside from these events, some local purveyors are continuing to partner with Action Wellness and Dining Out For Life throughout the month of April. Philly artisans like Manatawny Still Works, Weckerly’s Ice Cream, ReAnimator Coffee, and Yards Brewing Company will sell Action Wellness-inspired products. Similarly, 33% of these sales will also go back to the organizations.
Keep On GETTING… All Year Long
There’s one more way for diners to show support and get something back! For every Dining Out For Life donation of $25 or more, diner can receive a “20% Off Tuesdays” card. It’s easy! You can donate by text anytime by texting DINE to 50155. These cards can be used year-round at participating restaurants to get 20% off food bills on any Tuesday throughout the year (excluding holidays and other offer combinations). The card will mail after the event and expires 5/15/19.
