Client Focus
A long way back home
“Vital Bridges got me my apartment. Before that I didn’t always know where I would sleep. Now I wake up. Take my medicine, eat a healthy breakfast, and go to school. I don’t know where I’d be today without Vital Bridges. I’ve come a long way.”

Imagine contracting HIV and becoming too weak to work, losing your job, your home and having to choose between food and medication.
Where would you turn to rebuild your life? Strengthen your body? Lift your spirits?
Vital Bridges. Bridges to health. Bridges to hope.
In 1988, an HIV diagnosis for most was a death sentence. Today, HIV is still incurable but those who have the disease – whether rich or poor – can lead fruitful and fulfilling lives with the right medications and resources.
Vital Bridges – at the forefront of helping men, women and children impacted by HIV and AIDS build healthier lives for twenty years.

Henry's in a Pinch
What’s the pinch Henry feels? It’s the same pinch you feel. In the past year, food prices have risen over 4.5 percent. But those staples that are crucial to you and our clients who live with HIV and AIDS – milk, eggs, bread and chicken – rose by double digits. For Henry and the clients that we serve in our grocery centers throughout the week, the cost of these foods is becoming prohibitive.Download Newsletter_
