Dining Out for Life - Thursday, September 22

On Thursday, September 22, 2011, thousands of people in the Greater Baltimore Metropolitan Area will be participating in one of the most rewarding dining experiences of the year. Moveable Feast's Dining Out for Life event raises tens of thousands of dollars, thanks to the generosity of community-minded restaurants, sponsors, and those who dine out with their families and friends that day to help our neighbors in need.

By dining at Sotto Sopra Restaurant on Thursday, September 22  we will be donating 20 percent of dinner proceeds that day  to help feed hundreds of men, women, and children right here in our community living with HIV/AIDS, and other life-challenging conditions such as breast cancer.

Remember to Eat.Drink.Sleep.Dream – Italian and know that on this night you are helping many others with their day-to-day living.
