A Loving Spoonful is the constant support of over 250 adults and children living with HIV/AIDS throughout the Greater Vancouver area.

Whether you’ve visited the Vancouver AIDS Memorial at Sunset Beach on your own, or attended the annual Candlelight Vigil, we know you’ll agree that it is a place of contemplation, peace and beauty, a tribute to those lost to AIDS, and those who eased their passing. The Fillmore Family Foundation is proud to support this legacy.
