A Taste for Life

THANK YOU!
Wednesday, April 28, 2010

A Taste for Life was a resounding success, thanks to the participation of thousands of Torontonians and 77 restaurants.  Your support helped Fife House provide supportive housing and support services for people and families living with HIV/AIDS.

 

A Taste for Life originated in Ottawa in 1999 when Bruce House, Fife House's counterpart in the nation's capital and The Snowy Owl AIDS Foundation successfully collaborated with 10 local restaurants.

Patrons were invited to spend a special evening in their favourite establishments and each restaurant agreed to donate a portion of the evening's gross revenue from all food and bar sales, excluding taxes, to the charities.

The following restaurants participated in A Taste For Life 2010. 

Please remember their generosity and consider visiting them throughout the year.  If you're going out for dinner, lunch or just a drink with friends, why not give your business to someone who cares!
