Thank you for Dining Out for Life!

Thank you to everyone who dined at a participating restaurant on September 17th!  Despite a challenging economy, 52 restaurants participated and donated at least 20% of their proceeds to Moveable Feast.  So far we have raised over $24,000 in individual donations!

We would also like to extend special thanks to our Honorary Chair, Spike Gjerde of Woodberry Kitchen; each of our wonderful volunteer Restaurant Ambassadors; and all of our sponsors and promotional partners.  Whenever you can, we encourage you to patronize our Dining Out for Life partners.  For a complete list of our 2009 restaurants, please click here.  When dining at one of these restaurants, be sure to thank them for supporting Moveable Feast!

Urge Congress to Extend the Ryan White Program

The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act expires on September 30, 2009. Congress has just 12 weeks to secure the program’s extension and ensure that services are not interrupted later this year.  Moveable Feast is a recipient of Ryan White funds, and an disruption in services would be detrimental to the lives of our clients.

We urge you to contact your members of Congress this week and encourage the passage of a three-year extension of the bill that reflects recommendations endorsed by over 240 HIV/AIDS organizations in 45 states, DC and Puerto Rico.  Remind your elected leaders how important Ryan White services are to the communities they represent in Washington.

Please contact your House member and both Senators and tell them that the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act must be extended before September 30 with changes recommended by CAEAR Coalition and over 240 of its national and local partners. Urge them to reach out to the leadership of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the Senate HELP Committee and express their support for swift action on the extension.

To reach your members of Congress, call the Capitol Switchboard at 1-800-828-0498.  If you are unsure who your member of Congress is, click here and enter your zip code in the tool on the left hand side of the web page.  Thank you for your support!
