Our Food Bank is Bare!! Donations Needed!!
RHAC operates a monthly food bank for HIV+ people who are living on limited incomes and/or struggling with health issues. We receive a generous amount of non-perishables from the London Food Bank four times a year, as well as ongoing regular donations from St. George’s Presbyterian Church and Metropolitan Community Church. We are grateful for these donations.
But due to an increase in the number of people accessing our food bank, known as the Country Cupboard, this season we are running low on supplies!!
On October 7th, 2011, RHAC along with the Middlesex-London Health Unit and My Sister's Place will be hosting a workshop for service providers who may have clients in the sex trade. Download this flyer to find out more information on this training opportunity.
