West Hollywood,
Calif., business provides holiday meals to HIVers

The Abbey Food and Bar, a popular West Hollywood, Calif., establishment, has donated $10,000 to provide holiday meals to HIV-positive clients of the Los Angeles charity Aid for AIDS. The money will be used to provide 229 households a full Christmas dinner that includes turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, and rolls, say Abbey staff members. The meals are being packaged and delivered to Aid for AIDS clients by grocery chain Albertsons. "Giving back to the community is very important to us, especially during this time of year," said Abbey owner David Cooley in a press release. "We're pleased to be able to spread some cheer and make the holidays a little brighter." (Advocate.com)
