October 2009 Business Alliance Beat the Cold Meet and Greet at Plan B, 924 Williamson St, Madison, WI 53703, benefiting AIDS Network's Food Pantry when you bring and donate detergent and cleaning supplies Date: Tuesday 10/20/2009 from 5:30 to 7:30 PM Benefiting AIDS Network's Food Pantry Hosted by: Plan B This month, be proud of yourself, enjoy something good to eat, feel good inside, and help others by joining the Business Alliance's monthly Beat the Cold Meet and Greet at Plan B. Bring and donate detergent and cleaning supplies needed by AIDS Network's Food Pantry, as those items are very difficult for AIDS Network to get without purchasing them. (Otherwise, bring non-perishable food items.) Plan B is a place where you can be proud to be yourself, providing a new place for everyone in which to feel comfortable. Their goal for the club is to provide an outlet for people to come and be reminded what fun is all about. Owners Rico Sabatini and Corey Gresen will feature Bruschetta, Pita & Hummus, Spinach & Artichoke Dip, Veggie Plate (wth dip), and chips and salsa from Plan B's new food menu. As well, Happy Hour features will be: $2 rail drinks; $1 off any drinks; $2 domestic beers; and $5 appetizers.
With offices in Madison, Beloit, and Janesville, AIDS Network is the state designated AIDS service provider for 13 counties in South Central Wisconsin. Open is open every Wednesday (excluding the first Wednesday of the month), and designed to meet special nutritional and home supply needs, AIDS Network's Food Pantry is open to anyone who is HIV positive and living under 300% of the federal poverty level. To clear up earlier information, one does not have to be a client of AIDS Network to receive items from the food pantry. One must register and is encouraged to meet with the agency's nutritionist for a nutritional assessment in order to maximum the benefit of the program. The Cap Times article: Food pantry lends a hand to people with HIV/AIDS "Up until a few years ago, AIDS Network operated its own food pantry, but stopped when we were able to satisfy the needs of our clients using other resources in the community," said AIDS Network Executive Director Karen Dotson. "Unfortunately, much has changed in the past year or so and we realized that the only way we could properly serve our clients, most of whom live well below the poverty level, was to once again have our own food pantry."
