Yet, we still fight for our underrepresented, marginalized communities who slip through public safety nets EVERY DAY. VOTE like your life depends on it.

On Dec. 8, a ground-breaking report, Moving Ahead Together: A Framework for Integrating HIV/AIDS & Aging Services, was released, as part of the Grantmakers In Aging’s (GIA) Moving Ahead Together initiative, supported by Gilead Sciences. The report provides a comprehensive framework of recommendations for strengthening the integration of HIV and aging care and services through increased awareness and understanding, more customized programs, closer cross-sector connection, and stronger policymaking. In response to the aging of the HIV epidemic, GMHC continues to be a leader in developing holistic programs that address the unmet, complex, health, and social needs of people 50 years and older, who are living with HIVwhich includes long-term survivors.

This Wednesday, Nov. 4 GMHC will be distributing FREE healthy and shelf-stable meals to our clients on a walk-in basis between 12-2PM. Why? Because COVID and election-induced anxiety won’t stop us from providing our clients access to a healthy diet! Simply put, we know HIV weakens your immune system. Because your body uses nutrients to keep up its defenses against germs, eating well can help you fight off infections. It can also boost your energy, keep you strong..., help you avoid health complications, and ease issues brought on by HIV and its treatments.
