One of the main reasons I signed up for this was that while Food &#038; Friends began as a service to deliver meals to people with HIV\/AIDS, and that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s still a central part of their mission, over the years they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been able to expand that service to include men, women and children who face a variety of illnesses such as breast and prostate cancer, and other life-challenging illnesses. That mission is critical to support providing three meals a day to more than 1,300 people, six days a week.<\/p>\n<p>Please support my efforts to raise $1900 by <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kintera.org\/faf\/donorReg\/donorPledge.asp?ievent=218715&#038;lis=1&#038;kntae218715=56EA3670F04346CD906F8E34F87A6277&#038;supId=161104814#\">making a tax-deductible donation today<\/a>.
