The project sought to obtain government benefits for immigrants and help with housing, discrimination, and personal affairs planning such as wills and medical directives. The Food Services Program was created in 1986 by the Recreation Department of Client Programs to provide meals five days a week to clients who were homeless, living in shelters, and/or were eligible for Medicare and/or Medicaid. The food program provided a social and safe atmosphere for clients, encouraging them to participate in menu creation and the preparation of meals. The 1991 Proposal sought to expand the services by 15,600 more meals per week.</p> <p>Electronic records consist of job descriptions for various positions in the Volunteer Office, the Bridges program, and the Lesbian AIDS Project.</p>"}
