HIV care is more than medication.

For National Food Bank Day, we’re recognizing APLA Health’s Vance North Necessities of Life Program, also known as NOLP, and the work that helps keep people with HIV nourished, supported, and connected to care.

NOLP helps people access groceries, hygiene items, and nutrition support across Los Angeles County, because staying healthy is easier when basic needs are met.
