February 1995: The auditorium of the Ursuline Center was transformed into the Guardian Angel Cafe on the third Saturday of every month to provide dinner and social time for people with HIV/AIDS and their caregivers. About 120 people participate a month.
August 1997: A Just for Kids children's program was created to provide extra emotional and social support to help kids deal with their parents' or their own HIV status. More than 70 children visited the program in 2000.
