Reduce/Reuse Program

The Life Group LA was chosen by Whole Foods to benefit from the Reduce/Reuse Program for the Whole Foods Market on Santa Monica and Fairfax for the next three months!!! This is a great opportunity for more than just some grass roots fundraising, but for outreach too! There will be signage in the store which will help get our name out even more so that our community knows we are here for them.

For each grocery bag that a customer brings in to re-use...we get 5 cents!

So, please do a bit of shopping at Whole Foods... And bring in your own grocery bags! Help raise money for TLGLA and decrease our waste on earth! Please make sure to mention TLGLA when checking out.

In Los Angeles, there are over 52,000 people living with HIV or AIDS. Despite medical advances and the promising new drug treatment options that are extending the lives of many persons impacted by HIV/AIDS, the AIDS epidemic is not over.

In the United States, AIDS Kills more African American Men age 25-44 than any other disease.

New issues and challenges have arisen for people living with HIV/AIDS. Issues of drug treatment failure (when the medication stops working), joining a clinical trial, disclosing an HIV diagnosis, HIV employment and housing discrimination, and coping with side effects are just some of the challenges facing persons living with HIV/AIDS today. In addition, under-served and difficult to reach populations such as women, minorities and persons living in alcohol and addiction recovery institutions pose unique challenges in dealing with HIV/AIDS.

In Los Angeles, more than 52,000
people are living with HIV or AIDS

The POZ Life Weekend Seminar is conducted 4 times a year in various venues countywide currently by volunteer staff, volunteers, medical doctors, nurses, benefits counselors, attorneys, nutritionists, researchers, peer advocates and peer support group facilitators. The weekend is usually conducted over the course of a Friday evening (4 hours) and Saturday & Sunday: (8 hours each day) in a safe, non-judgmental environment. There is no charge to the participants for the weekend. Lunches, snacks and beverages are provided, and some childcare may be available with advanced notice.

What our participants are saying:

"It's been 3 weeks since the workshop and I can not tell you how much I appreciate what I walked away with.

My life has changed in so many ways, my friends and family now want to go to the workshop. My outlook on life has changed from a stormy sky to a bright warn sunshine day.

Thank you to all the volunteers, you made me feel so welcome, you helped lift my fears, encouraged me to be proactive and gave me the resources to make it all come together.

Sunnie, if it were not for your persistence and passion and loving ways, I may not have even had the courage to leave my house Friday night.

One day, I will come back and train to be a volunteer too."
