Vivent Health’s food pantry, which helps fight hunger in the LGBTQ community

For decades, Vivent Health has been at the forefront of combatting the HIV/AIDS epidemic by providing exceptional health services.

Vivent Health services have been a valuable resource for individuals like McDaniel.

Vivent Health and the Hunger Task Force have joined hands to create the pantry.

Kelli Hirt, the director of food and nutrition services for Wisconsin at Vivent Health, emphasized the crucial role of food in healthcare, especially for individuals living with HIV. “Food is not just a necessity for these patients, it is a fundamental component of their healthcare,” she stated.

As a member of the LGBTQ community, Lavar has found Vivent Health Services to be a supportive environment where he can build meaningful connections with others who share his experiences.

McDaniel emphasized that the purpose of this community is not focused on sexuality, as many people may assume. Instead, it serves as a platform to connect with others and build a sense of belonging. “It’s about community,” he stated. Attending these gatherings provides individuals with the opportunity to reunite with familiar faces and make new acquaintances.
