Synopsis: 
Lifelong AIDS Alliance is committed to preventing the spread of HIV, and to providing practical support services and advocating for those whose lives are affected by HIV and AIDS.
Description: 

Lifelong AIDS Alliance was formed in 2001 through the merger of
Chicken Soup Brigade and Northwest AIDS Foundation. We’ve come a long
way since our beginnings in 1983, when a soup can was passed around
Volunteer Park and collected the first $42 to help people living with
HIV/AIDS in our community.

Today, we are staffers, volunteers,
donors and community members from many different backgrounds. We are
united in our determination to make sure that we never forget that
HIV/AIDS still exists. We will be here until there is a cure.

Lifelong Staff

Caring for People
Lifelong
does whatever it takes to improve the lives of people living with
HIV/AIDS. We provide health insurance so that people can get the care
they need. We cook and deliver healthy meals. We ensure that people
have a safe place to live. And our caring case managers help people
every step of the way.

Preventing New Infections
Until
there is a cure, preventing new AIDS infections is our best hope.
Lifelong distributes hundreds of thousands of condoms each year, along
with safer-sex messages aimed at stopping thousands of new infections.
We also counsel those at risk of spreading or acquiring HIV.

Advocating For Change
Decisions
made in Olympia and Washington, DC have a profound effect upon people
living with HIV/AIDS here in Seattle/King County. We represent those
living with HIV/AIDS and ensure that our voices are heard at the local,
state and federal levels.

Creating Community
Lifelong builds a strong network of support for our programs and services. Events, like our annual AIDS Walk and monthly Gay Bingo, raise both awareness and financial support for people living with HIV/AIDS in Seattle/King County.
