Dining Out For Life restaurants make a difference
Dining Out for Life is an event that we hold very near and dear to hearts. It is an event that I cherish personally as well.
This year at Ocean we’ll have two guest bartenders. We’ll be bringing back Joe Crawford, one of our most beloved bartenders, as well as Chris Presley, one of our favorite regulars and owner of Fringe salon.
We’ll also be bringing back some of Ocean’s previous menu items that were guest favorites. We may even have live music.
Dining Out for Life is a very special day at Ocean. You don’t want to miss it!
George Reis, Chef at Ocean
AIDS Alabama makes an impact on our community
AIDS Alabama makes a difference in the Birmingham area through many programs and services.
The agency provides housing assistance, case management, transportation, support groups, mental health and substance abuse services and peer support for those living with HIV or at risk for getting HIV.
They provide advocacy training so Alabamians living with HIV and the people that love them can better understand how legislation directly affects their health and wellbeing.
AIDS Alabama’s prevention department offers free, confidential HIV and STI testing and HIV and STI education. They even provide emergency food and clothing for low-income or homeless LGBTQ+ youth of color through their safe space at The HUB: Birmingham.
Their LatinX outreach programs provide medical translation services, linkage to care, and immigration support.
In 2018, AIDS Alabama provided 33,522 trips to medical and social service appointments; 121,504 nights of affordable housing; and tested 2,035 people for HIV.
Find out more about Dining Out for Life at AIDS Alabama’s website.

The easiest way to get involved in this important and fun event is to gather everyone you know and dine out to give back by eating at a participating Dining Out For Life restaurant.
If you want to take it to the next level, AIDS Alabama would love to have you as a Dining Out For Life table captain or ambassador.
It’s easy, fun, and a great way to meet new people and make a difference in our community.
