Positive Resource Connection

It is with heavy hearts and profound gratitude that we share the passing of Gregory L. Manifold, a truly transformative leader in our agency's history.

As our Executive Director from 1998-2011, Gregory stepped in during a time of uncertainty and guided our agency (then the AIDS Task Force) into an era of stability, growth, and community trust. From leading our move to Oxford Street to capturing our history in his "personal love project" book, Gregory’s vision shaped the foundation of who we are today.

His heart was always with our clients. “Meeting their needs and making people’s lives better was our highest accomplishment." To honor his boundless compassion, our client pantry was named the Gregory L. Manifold Food Pantry upon his retirement, ensuring his legacy and spirit of giving always lives on.

We extend our deepest sympathies to Gregory’s family, friends, and all who loved him. He often said that his time with us was a "great gift" to him, but in truth, his leadership and lifelong advocacy were an immeasurable gift to all of us. Rest in peace, Gregory. 🕊️
