It is with heavy heart that I announce the closure of Vital Life Services(formerly the Center for AIDS Services), another non-profit casualty of the Great Depression 2.0. Money for Wall St bailouts, money for unending wars, money for just about everything except taking care of the sick and poor and homeless. When will our priorities match our stated ideals? No time soon, it seems to me.

OK, so I’m very biased. Full disclosure: I work at this wonderful, little community organization that has helped people living with HIV/AIDS for over 21 years. It is the only drop-in day center of its kind serving Alameda and Contra Costa County residents. I think what sets this agency apart from other places is the manner in which it delivers its services: with a special warmth, compassion, and respect for the clients it serves. The staff at Vital Life Services and its small army of committed volunteers will keep providing care and hope to people living with HIV/AIDS until there’s a cure for the virus.
