DOFL2025 – NFAN

Northeast Florida AIDS Network invites the community to join us for the 21st Annual Dining Out For Life® Jacksonville on Thursday, April 16, 2026. Your support will make a real difference in our efforts to fight hunger and HIV-related issues in our area, demonstrating our commitment to the community.

**How It Works** On Thursday, April 16, 2026, participating local restaurants and bars will donate a percentage of their sales to the NFAN Mary H. Lewis Food Pantry. This makes it easy for you to give back to the community while also supporting local businesses.

Every meal or beverage served helps enhance the health, dignity, and hope of those living with HIV in Northeast Florida.

Join us, invite your friends, and dine with a purpose—together, we can ensure that no one faces hunger alone.

Support local restaurants and bars that give back to our community!

The Mary H. Lewis Food Pantry is a vital resource for individuals living with HIV. In 2024, it provided 15,388 meals. NFAN has made the pantry accessible to anyone with HIV, regardless of where they receive their other services.

The pantry was founded by Mary H. Lewis, who began volunteering at NFAN in 1990. Recognizing a critical need, she initiated the food pantry. Mary reached out to grocery stores and restaurants to collect as much food as possible and organized the pantry for individuals living with HIV to access. This initiative was especially important during that time because HIV medications often came with strict instructions regarding timing and consumption, and they could cause severe side effects. Having readily available food was essential for those managing their treatment.
