In honor of World AIDS Day on Dec. 1, Mollie Stone’s Market is helping present Paint the Castro Red, a fundraising and awareness event in San Francisco's Castro neighborhood.
“[The event] will commemorate the many San Franciscans who have been lost to AIDS and inspire our community into action -- to get tested for HIV and prevent future infection and to help those affected by HIV/AIDS, by raising funds for local AIDS service providers,” wrote Liz Milks of Mollie Stone's Markets in a press release.
Mollie Stone’s, which has a location in Greenbrae, is donating 10 percent of sales on Dec. 1 from their Castro location to local nonprofits: AIDS Emergency Fund, AIDS Legal Referral Panel, Asian & Pacific Islander Wellness Center, Maitri, National AIDS Memorial Grove, Positive Resource Center, Project Inform, Project Open Hand, San Francisco AIDS Foundation, Shanti, and Visual Aid.
