Community projects

It seems early to start thinking about the holidays but they will be upon us before you know it! This year will be the 5th year  we have put together Thanksgiving Baskets and have a Thanksgiving Luncheon for folks affected by HIV/AIDS - keep us in mind as you clean out your closets and begin making holiday donations - contact me if you need items picked up!

We will also be collecting monetary and toy donations for children in families affected by HIV/AIDS - last year we provided gifts to 14 children from ages 4 months to 17 years!

This group of families lives well below the poverty level and is underserved and unable to access the programs offered to low income families - 100% of every item/dollar you donate will be used to help them directly.
