Orange Cares Q3: Supporting Families Affected by HIV with Being Alive

For Q3 2026, Orange Aluminum is supporting Being Alive, a Los Angeles nonprofit serving people living with HIV and AIDS. Through Orange Cares, our quarterly charitable giving program, a portion of each purchase contributes to a donation supporting the selected organization.

This quarter’s choice brings attention to the importance of mental health, community connection, and compassionate support for people affected by HIV.

Why We Chose Being Alive

Our Sales Assistant, Juan Medrano, nominated Being Alive after someone close to him received an HIV diagnosis. His nomination brought a personal connection to this quarter’s initiative and highlighted an organization working to make support more accessible.

Employee nominations help shape Orange Cares. They give our team a voice in where we direct our charitable contributions and introduce us to causes that matter in their lives.

By selecting Being Alive, we’re supporting an organization focused on reducing stigma, removing barriers to care, and helping people living with HIV find understanding and community.

How Being Alive Supports People Living With HIV

Founded in 1986, Being Alive is a nonprofit created and operated by and for people living with HIV/AIDS. Based in Los Angeles, the organization focuses on mental health and wellness, offering no-cost programs that address emotional and practical needs.

Its services include:

• Emotional support and peer connection: Opportunities to share experiences and build relationships with others living with HIV.

• Mental health services: Therapy and support for people living with or affected by HIV.

How Orange Cares Turns Purchases Into Community Support

Orange Cares connects our everyday work at Orange Aluminum with ongoing charitable giving. Each quarter, our team selects a nonprofit, and a portion of sales goes toward that organization’s donation.

For our Q3 2026 initiative, that recipient is Being Alive.

Our customers help make these contributions possible through their purchases. Our employees help guide the program by bringing forward organizations and causes with personal meaning. Together, those contributions allow us to support nonprofit work throughout the year.
