Wellness Center

We're putting the finishing touches on the brand new Wellness Center... The renovations are complete, the heating system works, the furniture has arrived, and now we just have to put all the pieces together. Check back for regular progress reports!

SISTA Reunion

Over 50% of HIV+ women in the United States are African-American women. SISTA is a peer-led program designed to help African-American women use knowledge, skills and pride to protect themselves from HIV. The SISTA program consists of a two hour session once a week for five weeks. The 2009 SISTA graduates recently gathered for a reunion, and a wonderful time was had by all!

Under Construction

If you've been to the AIDS Community Services website lately you know things look a bit... well, out of whack. We're in the process of moving the entire website (along with Alianaza Latina, Pride Center, DoingItSafe and Evergreen Association sites) to a brand new server. Things will be up and running better and faster than ever in just a few days. We appreciate your patience!

At AIDS Community Services, the New Year means exciting new special events just around the corner. Handbag Happy Hour will be a one of a kind cocktail event showcasing designer, celebrity, distinctive and “previously loved” purses that will be auctioned off to trendy divas from throughout Western New York. Handbags from Susan Lucci from All My Children and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have already come in, and trendy clutches, luggage and totes have been donated by local shops such as Modern Nostalgia and Clutch in the Allentown area. Check out Handbag Happy Hour details along with a selection of handbags HERE.

Evergreen Center Update

Work continues throughout the Evergreen Center! The exterior upgrades are done, including fresh paint on the trim and a new wind shelter at the back entrance. Now workers are giving the lobby a brand new paint job and putting the finishing touches on the Wellness Center. They're also installing new efficient light bulbs throughout the building that will result in energy savings of more than $6000 each year.
