The Aliveness Project - Meal Program and Food Shelf

Shared meals have been a tradition at The Aliveness Project since it was founded and today the Dining Room is the heart of our community. Here you can enjoy a hot "home-cooked" meal and make new friends. It is open to all members without reservations. Meals are served six days a week in our Dining Room. Each meal features a nutritious entree and side dishes, salad bar, soup, beverages and dessert. Children must be accompanied by a parent who is a member. Dining Room Hours - Lunch: Monday-Friday, Noon - 2:00 pm; Dinner: Monday-Thursday, 5:00 - 7:00 pm; Saturday Brunch, 11:00am - 1:00pm. Many people with HIV and AIDS live below the poverty line, or they have challenges to their monthly budget like copays for medicine. The Aliveness Project's popular Food Shelf is a vital lifeline to people who cannot come regularly to enjoy their meals at Aliveness or who have issues affording enough food to eat when the Dining Room is closed. The Food Shelf offers eligible members monthly appointments that provide enough food to prepare three to four days of meals at home. The food shelf features a "shopping" model that allows members to choose their own groceries based on their individual needs from a wide selection that includes meat, dairy and produce. Food Shelf hours are: Monday-Wednesday-Friday: 10AM - 4PM. Saturdays: 11AM - 1PM.
