Recently, we were visited by the Sundt Foundation who made a great contribution toward our services!

This is especially impactful because the Sundt Foundation uses committees of employees to decide which organizations to fund, and the foundation supports causes they are passionate about.

We are grateful to be one of the nonprofits receiving support! Thank you, Sundt Construction, Inc. 🫶

Today, we recognize National HIV/AIDS and Aging Awareness Day.

With more than half of people living with HIV in the United States being 50 or older, it’s important to recognize the unique challenges that lifelong HIV survivors can face as they age.

Since 1990, we’ve been honored to provide nourishment and care to people aging with HIV, and we know there is still more work to do. We’re grateful for the opportunity today to reaffirm our commitment to the people we serve and to continue supporting them at every stage of life.
