AIDS Outreach
This committee is responsible for providing holiday gifts for families affected by HIV or AIDS by soliciting and matching firms and corporations with families. The committee also visits and assists the residents of Bering Omega House one Saturday in the spring.
“Thank you so much. I can’t find the words to express my gratitude to you and your partner. Because of y’all my kids will have a good Christmas. God bless you both.”
