National Coffee Day feels like a pretty good excuse to get coffee and bagels for the staff on DOFL day!

Mudita is one of our participating Dining Out For Life restaurants, which means today you can grab a coffee, support a local business, and help support LGBTQ+ and HIV services at LGBT Life Center.
Not a bad Tuesday.

See all the places you can get lunch, dinner, drinks, or snacks: DiningOutForLife.com/757.

We can hardly believe it ourselves, but tomorrow (Tuesday, Sept 29) is DOFL DAY!

For those who are new, Dining Out For Life is an annual fundraiser that highlights our work with HIV and engages the community through food and friends. Participating restaurants give 33% or more of a patron's bill back to the Life Center.

What can you do to support tomorrow?
- Dine out at one of the participating restaurants; see https://www.diningoutforlife.com/city/757/ for the full list!
- Post or re-post DOFL on socials
- Talk about it to everyone and anyone
