A Taste for Life: Hope Made Delicious

Dine out on April 23 and support people affected by HIV/AIDS

On Wednesday, April 23, 2014, if you dine out at one of 16 participating restaurants in the Kawarthas, 25% of your bill will be donated to make life better for people in our community affected by HIV/AIDS.

Originating in Philadelphia, “A Taste for Life” began in Canada in 1999 in support of Ottawa’s Bruce House and the Snowy Owl AIDS Foundation and 25 restaurants participated. The event expanded to Toronto in 2000, and subsequently to London and Peterborough.

“A Taste for Life” now runs in 21 communities, and has raised more than $200,000 for people in Ontario living with HIV/AIDS.

In Peterborough and the Kawarthas, funds raised through this event support PARN: Your Community AIDS Resource Network.

If you can’t make it out for dinner on April 23rd, you can still donate to PARN through Canada Helps and play a part in helping make life easier for those affected by HIV/AIDS.

Scroll down the page to see a regional map and a list of all 16 participating restaurants. Reservations are recommended.
