Since 1987 the Foothill AIDS Project has been helping to improve the lives of those affected by HIV/AIDS. Circle of Friends was able to participate in their annual Back to School picnic in August, to supply school supplies to children affected by HIV/AIDS.

The Foothill AIDS Project, FAP, provides comprehensive support services and helps prevent HIV infection through education and outreach. The FAP provides services to over 700 adults and children throughout the San Gabriel Valley and San Bernardino County in California. This includes 45 families with over 90 children. Every year, the FAP hosts many events for those affected, including a Back-to-School picnic. The children get to jumpstart their school year with an afternoon of games, food and school supplies. Along with other companies, Circle of Friends was happy to participate by supplying products for the kids back to school backpacks, which included items ranging from shoes to notebooks to Circle of Friends bath products!
