John Hilgeman interviews Mary Hizer, the new executive director of St. Louis Effort for AIDS (EFA), on Lambda Reports. Hizer discusses EFA's origins in 1985 by 12 gay men to support AIDS victims and its current challenges, including reduced government funding and increased client needs. EFA offers direct client services like case management, the Buddy Program, and temporary assistance, and educational resources such as the "Front Line" publication and a hotline. Hizer emphasizes the importance of community support and volunteerism, noting upcoming events like "Into the Woods" and the NAMES Project Quilt event in October. EFA's address is 5622 Delmar, and the hotline number is 367-8400.
