AIDS Vancouver's Grocery Program

The AIDS Vancouver Grocery program aims to address food security issues that our clients experience by providing over 16,000 supplemental grocery bags to approximately 1200 clients annually.

Nutrition is paramount for sustaining and prolonging the health and quality of life for those whose immune systems are compromised by the HIV virus.

This program is supported by 1 Full time staff and 16 dedicated volunteers who are passionate about delivering this vital program.

Annually, the Grocery program must raise $150,000 to purchase food that is not funded.

In kind donations from the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society helps to keep this vital program running. We are incredibly grateful for this meaningful partnership.
