Client since 2024 The face of HIV/AIDS has changed drastically since the founding of God's Love We Deliver forty years ago, but the care God's Love provides its clients living with HIV/AIDS (and all other life-altering illnesses) has not. Advertisement James, an artist from South Dakota, moved to New York City in 1976 with dreams of making it in the art world. Two decades into that journey, everything changed when he was diagnosed with AIDS. Faced with the fear of losing not only his livelihood but his life, James found strength through community. James felt a spark of purpose. Surrounded by others facing the same fight, he poured his heart into advocacy — using art and storytelling to amplify the voices of people living with AIDS across all five boroughs. Today, James is still here — and he credits his Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and the medically tailored meals from God's Love We Deliver for helping him feel the healthiest he's ever been. Not only does James feel better, but he's got the numbers to prove it: James's bloodwork has improved, and his doctor attributes this to meals from God's Love We Deliver meals. 'God's Love gives me good, nutritious food. My diet has never been better. You can't feel healthy if you don't have good-quality food. It makes a world of difference.' James, current GLWD client James faces the challenges of living with AIDS —and aging—with a support network he never thought he would be able to have at the time of his diagnosis. James thanks God's Love for improving his health with each meal and brightening his day with each smile he receives at the door.

How to watch Cher, Peter Frampton, Dave Stewart perform at Love Rocks NYC concert
This year's Love Rocks NYC benefit concert will have a dual purpose. The ninth annual installment of the event at the Beacon Theatre in New York will aid God's Love We Deliver as usual, but also throw support behind Project Angel Food in Los Angeles as a response to the devastating area wildfires. The March 6 show boasts a lineup stuffed with marquee names including Cher, Alicia Keys, Mavis Staples, Peter Frampton, Trey Anastasio, Kate Hudson, Michael McDonald, Struts frontman Luke Spiller and Eurythmics star Dave Stewart among them. Celebrity appearances from Amy Schumer, Tracy Morgan, Susie Essman and Alex Edelman are also planned. How to stream Love Rocks NYC Tickets for the concert, which begins at 8 p.m. ET, are available through but those who can't attend have a livestream option. Viewers can sign up at to access a livestream link to the concert via for $24.99. Subscribers to Veeps All Access can tune in for free. A portion of all proceeds from the livestream will support the mission of God's Love We Deliver of providing home-delivered meals to New Yorkers affected by severe illness. Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle. Since its launch in 2017, the Love Rocks NYC concerts have raised $50 million and funded 5 million meals for God's Love We Deliver, the nonprofit founded during the AIDS pandemic in 1985. Project Angel Food, founded in 1989, also services its area – the majority of Los Angeles County – by providing free meals for people too sick to shop or cook for themselves. In April 2023, the organization delivered its 16 millionth meal. Stewart, who plans to perform two Eurthymics songs with vocalist Vanessa Amorosi, said he got involved after being asked by iconic fashion designer John Varvatos, one of the executive producers of Love Rocks NYC. For the charitable-minded Stewart, who also works with José Andrés' World Central Kitchen, it was an immediate affirmative. 'There isn't one person on the lineup I don't like, so it was like, oh, great, Alicia, Beck, Cher. I love Mavis Staples, obviously, and I've been following Kingfish for a while and Grace Powers is such a great up-and-coming artist,' Stewart told USA TODAY. More:Kate Hudson says facing this 'greatest fear' has 'completely changed my life' Why Love Rocks NYC will be more 'impactful' this year He's particularly anticipating convening with his old friend Beck, whom Stewart last saw around 2005 when they performed at the (now closed) Sit N Spin laundromat/music club. 'I just remember there was a hole in the wall where you could get a coffee and a little stage, so at 1 a.m., there we were!' Stewart said. Surprise pairings among the musicians on the bill are expected. But while the buzzy lineup intrigues, the mission of Love Rocks NYC remains at the forefront for organizers. 'This year's concert will be even more important,' said executive producer Greg Williamson, noting that support is needed for both God's Love We Deliver and Project Angel Food, a peer organization in the Food is Medicine Coalition. When there is a crisis, God's Love We Deliver always steps up, so supporting this year's concert will be even more impactful."

Nine Artists Who Shine at the 2025 Outsider Art Fair
The Outsider Art Fair, which opens to the public Thursday evening, can sometimes feel like a rock 'n' roll junk shop, full of chaos and noise. But this year's edition of the fair, at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Manhattan, is more like an uptown antique store — stocked with treasures but a little bit staid. Still, it remains a comparative bargain at only $35 for entry, and its 66 exhibitors range from one end of this increasingly diffuse genre to the other. At Creativity Explored (C3) in San Francisco, more than a hundred developmentally disabled adults spend 40 hours a week making art like Antonio Benjamin's cheeky nudes. The Chelsea gallery BravinLee Programs (D21), appearing here for the first time, has brought artists chosen for their outsider-like aesthetic — what the gallerist John Lee calls 'Outsiderisme.' As usual, there's also a booth of donated works being sold to benefit God's Love We Deliver (B4), and if you can't make it in person, you can catch at least some of the action in an online viewing room. Consider this list of notable works a starting point. Drawings by Aloïse Corbaz and Martín Ramírez Two of the most prominent galleries showing outsider art have come this year with selections from two of the genre's most prominent collections. Fleisher/Ollman's booth, hosting a small fraction of the art that Audrey Heckler left behind when she died last year, includes a spectacular, unusually vibrant drawing by the maestro of obsessive train tunnels, Martín Ramírez (1895-1963). Among the rarities from the prolific collector Robert Greenberg at Ricco/Maresca is a colored pencil drawing of a group of women by Aloïse Corbaz (1886-1964), who worked for Kaiser Wilhelm II's chaplain before being hospitalized for schizophrenia. With their giant pursed lips and solid blue eyes, surrounded by color, her fairylike fashionable women are faintly alien but intensely alluring. 'Leave the Moon Alone!' After the closure of his New York gallery, Castellane, in 1966, the self-taught wood sculptor and printmaker William Kent (1919-2012) retreated to a dairy barn in Durham, Conn., and got a day job at a paper box factory. But he kept carving zippy, eccentric pop imagery into slabs of slate to make prints on paper and fabric. 'Leave the Moon Alone!' (1964), which features buxom Greek gods, phallic rockets and a speckled green orb, in this case on a brown paisley background, expresses Kent's environmentalist objections to the space program in a way that's completely straightforward but irresistibly idiosyncratic. 'Remember Sisters, We Sisters Are Married to Truth and Freedom, Not Married to Fear and Lies' The Milwaukee collagist Della Wells worked with Anne Marie Grgich, an artist, and Sandy Jo Combes, a seamstress, to make this nearly 10-foot-tall American flag quilt, on which a watchful young woman and a debonair, man-sized rooster, both surrounded by portraits of Black women activists, stand at the altar. The piece features golden medallions, a large silver insect, tiny beads, a spray of yellow flowers, and both a real suit, courtesy of Grgich's husband, and a real wedding dress, from her mother, but I wouldn't quite call it exuberant. It is, but it's also defiant, as if to say, 'We're not going anywhere.' Untitled Drawing by Pudlo Pudlat In this undated colored pencil drawing by the Inuit sculptor and painter Pudlo Pudlat (1916-1992), a sinuous ship decorated with a broad yellow stripe rides on the crest of a green wave, helmed by what looks like a gray and brown bird with a taciturn black beak. It's an extraordinary composition: The wave bulges under the prow, as if they're crossing the page together, while the avian captain looks toward the empty upper corner, serenely confident that his company of elegant pencil lines can fill any amount of unmarked space. Untitled Photographs by Morton Bartlett Morton Bartlett (1909-1992) spent his life in Boston sculpting anatomically correct boys and girls in plaster, at close to life-size, in order to dress them up, pose them and immortalize them in black-and-white photos. The photos here are posthumous prints, which may be less exciting than originals — but the images themselves remain spectacular. When the warmth and precision of Bartlett's sculpture meets the dry whimsy of his camera, the results are as subtle and expressive as any art I know. Forced to choose one, from among all the melancholy debutantes and ballerinas, I'd recommend the dismayed young woman with flowers in her hair, strong cheekbones and a string bow tie. 'The Many Colors of Your Balloon and My Balloon' The so-called Batuan style of painting dates back to the 1930s, when artists in this Balinese village began rendering traditional motifs with Western materials. The contemporary painter I Made Griyawan has gone one step further, integrating aspects of Western art like a distinct horizon line — or, in his delightful acrylic painting, 'The Many Colors of Your Balloon and My Balloon' (2008), the bald, primary yellows and greens of four dozen-odd latex balloons floating merrily above a group of cavorting children. But don't worry — the repetitive, textile-like pattern of gray-blue waves and exaggerated clusters of palm leaves and red flowers will transport you to Bali all the same. Untitled Mask by Zimar In a strong presentation of Brazilian works from 1950 to the present, curated for the fair by Mateus Nunes, the piece that really caught my eye was this speckled, bumpy, reddish mask. A lizardlike, bicycle-seat-shaped face consisting of crushed plastic helmets and stone with huge jagged white teeth, which an artist known by the mononym Zimar uses in musical performances, the piece has an understated but surprisingly substantial presence. It feels almost as if it were discovered rather than made. 'Le Roi' One beautiful thing about a small clay figure like this bust of a king by Gérard Cambon, a retired office worker in southern France, is the way finger marks effortlessly translate into larger bodily gestures. The kink in His Majesty's nose is exactly the size and shape of a pressed-in thumb — but also exactly the curve a nose might take on after being broken. Combine this with the seedy glamour of bits of metallic garbage — like the bottle caps printed with faces in another piece nearby — and what you get is a charming cast of players ready for the next great Claymation epic. Outsider Art Fair Thursday evening through Sunday, Metropolitan Pavilion, 125 West 18th Street, Manhattan; 212-337-3338,
