Meals

We serve over 98,500 hot meals every year to HIV-positive men and women.  We serve a diverse group of people in a warm, friendly atmosphere where you can nourish your body and soul through nutritious meals and social interaction.  We provide lunch Monday through Thursday and dinner on Friday evening.  We offer a choice of a meat, vegetarian or fish entrée, whole grain bread, salad, soup, cooked vegetables, a starch and fresh fruit.  We strive to create a healthy environment for our clients by following food and water safety guidelines for HIV-positive individuals.  Our chef works closely with our registered dietitians to ensure that the food served supports the health of people with HIV/AIDS.  The registered dietitians also hold nutrition education events in the dining room during lunch and dinner to inspire clients to utilize the Nutrition Education Program.  We empower our participants with nutritional knowledge by serving them healthy food with the hope that they will make the healthier food choices when eating outside the agency.
