Fan Free Clinic is pleased to announce a $20,000 award from the M•A•C AIDS Fund to support our Food Pantry Project and related nutritional services for FFC’s HIV+ clients. Specifically, these funds will be used for food purchases as well as for nutritional counseling. “Good nutrition can be a problem for many people with HIV. When your body fights any infection, it uses more energy and you need to eat more than normal. But when you feel sick, you eat less than normal.” (Source: The Body)
From the M•A•C Cosmetics Website—
Established in 1994 by M•A•C Cosmetics, the M•A•C AIDS Fund supports men, women and children affected by HIV/AIDS globally. Introducing its first VIVA GLAM lipstick that same year, M•A•C decided that every cent of the selling price of the VIVA GLAM lipsticks would go to the M•A•C AIDS Fund. With a total of six shades of Viva Glam lipstick and two shades of Viva Glam lipglass now sold worldwide, and through the annual Kids Helping Kids Card Program, M•A•C Cosmetics has provided over $135 million (US) to date for the M•A•C AIDS Fund. The M•A•C AIDS Fund is the heart and soul of the company – with its employees giving their time, energy and talent to help those affected by HIV/AIDS worldwide.
