Where are you eating dinner today? What about happy hour? And isn’t it time to treat yourself to a long lunch?

Today, April 24, is Dining Out for Life, back for its 31st year. When you patronize a participating restaurant – whether for breakfast, lunch, happy hour, dinner or takeout – 25 percent of your check will be donated to Project Angel Heart, a nonprofit that provides medically tailored meals for Coloradans living with severe illnesses, including HIV/AIDS. That was the major focus when the nonprofit started thirty years ago, but it’s since expanded its scope in both service and geography.

More than a hundred restaurants are participating this year; check the list on the Project Angel Heart website…and then get out and eat!
