Dining Out for Life

Look back at Food and Friends' benefit: 180+ photos from 37 restaurants

On March 11, 2004, restaurants from across Washington, DC, Maryland and Virginia generously donated between 25% and 100% of their dinner bills to Food and Friends, a meal delivery service for people living with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other life-challenging illnesses.
