AIDS Delaware
Organization Mission:
Our mission is to eliminate the spread and stigma of HIV/AIDS, improve the lives of those living with HIV/AIDS, and promote community health through comprehensive and culturally-sensitive services, education programs, and advocacy.
AIDS Delaware was founded in 1984 by concerned volunteer activists to address the state’s emerging AIDS community, and we have been fighting the fight ever since.
Today we are the largest HIV Service Organization in the state, with offices in Wilmington, Dover and Georgetown.
Our services include free, confidential HIV testing; case management/client services; education/ outreach programs; pharmacy services; food pantry; drug & alcohol counseling; mental health counseling; transportation program (Sussex County); and The Village Delaware, a community for LGBTQ+ youth and adults.
With consideration of our immunosuppressed, high-risk clients, we are primarily working remotely, while still meeting their needs. We have adapted, using telephonic and telehealth capabilities, but not all clients can connect technologically. This makes it harder to provide life-sustaining services such as case management and counseling. Many clients have lost jobs or have had a significant decrease in income. Many are still scared to go to work due to COVID-19 and their HIV+ status. We have also seen an increase in mental health counseling requests.
Here are a few examples of how your donations help.
- $20 covers a 2-month supply of hearing aid batteries, an expense not covered by insurance.
- $35 covers co-pay for eyeglasses not covered by insurance or other social service providers.
- $70 purchases a DART Paratransit pass allowing a wheelchair bound client 9 round trip visits to critical medical appointments.
- $115 covers fees for Gender Confirmation documents, an important step for a client who is transitioning.
- $135 provides a Wifi Hot Spot for a year, allowing a client to use Telehealth for their weekly check-ins, counseling sessions and other medical appointments.
Your donations, no matter the size, can improve the quality of life for our clients.
From all of us at AIDS Delaware, thank you in advance for your support.
