Ellie Echeverio, Client Services Coordinator at the Utah AIDS Foundation. Check out their Seasons Givings program and lend a hand:

  • Red Ribbon Tree Adoption: "Adopting a family or individual living or affected with HIV/AIDS makes a great holiday project for your family, company, club, or church group. In many cases, our clients and their family members request only the most basic of items, including clothing, bedding, and basic household items. To make your adoptions, visit our Red Ribbon Tree here. Remember all gifts must be unwrapped and delivered to the Utah AIDS Foundation by Wednesday, December 15, 2021.”

  • Personal Care Stockings: "Personal care items are some of the most expensive items that we all need to buy with our groceries, and these items severely strain the already tight budgets of individuals and families living with HIV/AIDS. By donating a festive holiday stocking filled with essential personal care items you can help ease the finances of a family living with HIV/AIDS during the busy holiday season. Please have lots of fun and be creative with these stockings! We request that personal care stockings be delivered to Utah AIDS Foundation by Wednesday, December 15th."
