Being Alive goes green by recycling

Being Alive HIV/AIDS Services is going green with the collection of plastic bottles and cans to support Daniel’s Pantry that feeds the clients every month. More than 400 people use the Pantry each month for a collection of canned goods, rice, fresh fruits and vegetables and some frozen meat. There are donation bins at local businesses and recyclables can be dropped off Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Being Alive, 4070 Centre Street, San Diego, 92103. For more information on this program call Harrison at 619-291-1400 ext. 320.

Being Alive is also continuing on the going green by collecting used cell phones, inkjet cartridges, mp3 players, laser cartridges, laptops, iPods, cds, dvds, blue rays, video games and other small electronic devices. This not only helps the environment it also raises needed money for the valuable services at Being Alive. Any items can be dropped off at Being Alive, 4070 Centre Street, San Diego, 92103 or at The Postal Place, 1010 University Ave., Suite C113 in Hillcrest. For more information on the e-waste recycling program call Terry at 619-291-1400 ext. 313.

Being Alive San Diego’s mission is to deliver quality and compassionate services to people affected by HIV/AIDS and to provide education to those in need. Being Alive was formed by 6 HIV + individuals in 1989 to address the need for “peer driven” support and services. Today Being Alive is the longest running AIDS service organization in San Diego, serving more than 10,000 individuals every year.
