Testimonials

Hear from members about how the Heart of Richmond AIDS Society has changed their lives and provided the services required to help them feel part of our community again.

“As a member for some 17 years, I appreciate all the support provided by The Heart of Richmond. I especially like the socialization aspect at Dinners and Brunches. In accessing most of the services I enjoy the sense of community; both the financial support and GAP grocery programmes are helpful for extra needs at crucial times during the month. I appreciate the different people I meet here as well as Brian, Joanna, Neora and Anne Marie and the Board of Directors.”​

“Nutritious food is so essential for my well-being and it is very difficult to afford healthy food on my income. The weekly additional food the Heart of Richmond provides is a most welcome gift.”

“I have been a member of HORAS for 4 years and I became a member to feel connected to my community, as I had moved to Richmond in 2012. I currently access the support group and attend Weekly Calendar events; and receive the monthly Grocery card. I don’t have many connections in Richmond, but the Church Community is welcoming and a positive influence in my life. The Heart of Richmond is a one-of-a-kind organization in the community of Richmond. Without it, I would struggle to feel connected to my community. The volunteers and the staff truly make this organization extra special.”

“I rely so much on the monthly grocery cards so I can buy nutritious food and am blessed to also get additional food through the Heart of Richmond’s food project. Thank you!”
