TODAY, Portlanders can now enjoy some of these restaurants while supporting the OHSU Partnership Project and Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon’s HIV Day Center, by taking part in “Dining Out for Life”, a national event in its 2nd year in Portland. Participating restaurants will donate between 20%-30% of their proceeds from the sale of food and alcohol to the Partnership Project and the HIV Day Center.
