Nelson Mandela International Day Volunteer Activity:
Sorted donated clothes at Housing Works

Wednesday, 19 July 2017
Queens, New York

Nelson Mandela International Day volunteers helped sort donations received by Housing Works.

Housing Works is a New York City based non-profit fighting the twin crises of AIDS and homelessness. In 1990, five members of the famous AIDS activist group ACT UP—Keith Cylar, Charles King, Gerri Wells, Eric Sawyer and Virginia Shubert—decided to dedicate themselves to serving one of New York City’s most neglected populations: the tens of thousands of homeless men, women, and children in New York City living with HIV and AIDS. The activists called their new group Housing Works because they believed that stable housing was the key to helping HIV-positive people live healthy and fulfilling lives and to prevent the further spread of the virus. The charity is well known for its operations, which have recently included outreach to Haiti after the 2010 earthquake.
