The Treasure Chest Thrift Store provides program funding, community AIDS awareness, and items for members in need. PAWS (Pets are Wonderful Support) works to increase health and quality of life by providing assistance to PLWH/A pet owners and ensuring that they are not separated from their animal companions when they need them the most.
