  • 2006 Annual Report
    2006 annual report 2006 Annual Report Page 1 Since 1985, The Aliveness Project has been a place of life-giving support for people whose lives have been changed by HIV/AIDS. In 2006, we served 1,352 individuals — that’s one in four individuals living with HIV infection in Minnesota! In 1985, a small group of individuals living with HIV gathered together in homes to share support and potluck meals. In 2006, our on-site Meal Program and Food Shelf together provided the equivalent of more than 80,000 meals — and at least 500,000 since 2000! In 1985, there was no effective treatment for HIV infection. In 2006, although treatments for HIV infection help many people live longer, our members still need the healing therapies of our Complementary Care Program to combat the symptoms of this disease and side effects of current treatments. In 1985, less than 100 cases of full-blown AIDS were reported in Minnesota. In 2006, The Minnesota Department of Health reported 318 new cases of HIV/ AIDS — a five percent increase — and a total of 5,566 Minnesotans living with HIV/AIDS. In 2006, The Aliveness Project added 181 new members and served 15 percent more people than the previous year. In 1985, The Aliveness Project was founded by a small group of volunteers. In 2006, more than 1,000 individuals volunteered over 30,000 hours to run food shelf drives, serve thousands of hot meals, provide complementary therapies, and donate hundreds of gifts for our Holiday Basket Program! In 1985, there was little funding for AIDS services.
