What better way to save lives than to eat food? For the 20th annual event, "Dining out for life," you can do just that.

At a number of select restaurants, a percentage of your bill will be donated to Lifelong AIDS Alliance and the fight against illness and hunger in our community.

A number of restaurants in the Ballard area are participating. All of them (save for Hunger 2.0 in Fremont, which is donating 50 percent) will be donating 30 percent of your bill.
