The AIDS ministry lunch program at LA/County/USC is into its 13th year. We meet the 1st Wednesday of the month to make lunches for our AIDS/HIV patients at St. Mary's (Palms). Volunteers prepare four kinds of sandwiches, deviled eggs, fresh fruit, juices, cookies (store bought and homemade) and candies. Fresh flowers from our gardens are always brought to decorate the tables. Volunteers deliver the lunches/flowers to the Women’s and Children’s Clinic and then continue on to the main clinic where patients are served.
Our annual ingathering for our holiday gift bags for our patients is Sunday, November 20th. We are in need of the following for our bags: toiletries (save from your travels), gift certificates for our adolescents (Circuit City, Target) and toys for the children.
If you sew, please consider sewing some of our gift bags. We have cut out 19 dozen bags ready for seams and an opening for the card to be put in the drawstring bag. These need to be completed by the end of October.
Volunteers are always welcome, with various activities from lunch preparations,
serving at the clinic and sewing the gift bags. For further information contact:
