Why I'm supporting Dining In For Life...
By supporting The Aliveness Project, you are supporting all of the residents of Clare Housing who are members of Aliveness. I care deeply about these two organizations serving the HIV+ Twin Cities community, particularly those without the access advantages to sufficient income, food security and safe housing many of us unknowingly take for granted. Thank you for any amount of financial support this week while you Dine In For Life. I will be ordering take out from Revival Minneapolis!!!
For over 25 years, Dining Out for Life has been the biggest fundraiser of the year for The Aliveness Project. With your donations and the generous donations of our restaurant partners, we have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to help support essential services for people living with HIV. This year, Dining Out for Life is dining IN.
COVID-19 has changed our lives over the past few months. We've cancelled gatherings, moved things online, and made sacrifices to try and halt viral spread. Our restaurant partners have been hit especially hard, and this year we will not be asking them for financial support. Your financial support is important now more than ever. The Aliveness Project has continued to serve our nearly 2,000 members. We have adjusted our meals to carry-out and loaded up our members with groceries week in and week out. We have continued to offer case management and dietary care. Your support helps keep these services going in a time of uncertainty. Your support matters!
Dining Out for Life looks a little different this year. While we will not gather in person at our favorite restaurants, we encourage you to gather, virtually. Support our partner restaurants and order take out, then take your conversations online, share a meal over Zoom, show off your homes or pretend you're on that island vacation you missed out on this year. Whatever you choose, give the way you always have. We need you!
We don't know what next year will look like. We long to once again gather in person and share in the Dining Out for Life we've come to know, but if this year has taught us anything, it has shown us that we will always find ways to come together. The HIV community is strong and we will remain strong, together.
