abstract
  • AIDS Project Los Angeles (APLA) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, "dedicated to improving the lives of people affected by HIV/AIDS disease, reducing the incidence of HIV infection, and advocating for fair and effective HIV-related public policy." APLA is one of the largest non-profit AIDS service organizations in the United States. Its activities include providing bilingual direct services, prevention education and leadership on HIV/AIDS-related policy and legislation. The agency was founded in 1982 by Max Drew, Nancy Cole Sawaya, Matt Redman and Erv Munro with the financial support of their community of friends and family. On July 28, 1985, APLA held the world's first AIDS Walk, which brought in $673,000. The Walk is now the largest HIV/AIDS fundraiser in Southern California. Among the services provided by the agency are oral health, housing, case management, nutritional health, treatment adherence, and home health. APLA operates four Necessities of Life Program (NOLP) food pantry locations around Los Angeles and collaborates with five other organizations to provide food pantry services across the United States, effectively running the nation's largest network of food pantries for persons living with HIV/AIDS. APLA Dental Services' main and mobile clinics provide care in under-served areas across Los Angeles County.
