SHARP GROSSMONT HOSPITAL HOSTS BACKPACK DRIVE TO SUPPORT CHILDREN AFFECTED BY HIV/AIDS

East County News Service
 
July 25, 2024 (La Mesa) -- Sharp Grossmont Hospital is hosting its annual backpack drive to support children in San Diego impacted by HIV/AIDS on Friday, July 26. This year, Sharp Grossmont staff are sponsoring 75 children through Christie's Place, a nonprofit support center dedicated to women, children, and families living with HIV/AIDS.
 
Christie's Place, whose motto is "Love Grows Here," focuses on empowering individuals affected by HIV/AIDS to take charge of their health and wellness, ultimately improving their quality of life and that of their families. Many of the women, children, and families supported by Christie's Place face significant challenges such as poverty, unstable housing, food insecurity, and a lack of basic needs. By providing school supplies through this backpack drive, Sharp Grossmont staff help alleviate one of these burdens, enabling the children to concentrate on their education.

THANK YOU FOR THE BACKPACK | East County Magazine July 26, 2024
