 AIDS Help
AIDS Help, Inc. was formed March of 1986, as many of Key West’s most prominent and colorful citizens were dying from a newly-discovered disease which we now call HIV/AIDS. Now close to entering its 21st year of service, it is Florida’s oldest continuously operating AIDS service organization (ASO).
AIDS Help is a full service ASO providing food, shelter, case management and many other services to assist in helping people live fuller, healthier lives. AIDS Help has served well over 3500 clients in its history and currently provides support for some 350 individuals across the demographic spectrum, from Key Largo to Key West. AIDS Help is the proud owner of 40 units of housing for people living with HIV/AIDS, the only ASO in the State of Florida to hold that distinction.
Because of its participation in BIKE It & B.E.A.R. It for AIDS and the subsequent SMART Rides 3 & 4, AIDS Help has been able to complete an additional three units of housing and continue to provide services not covered by other grants and resources, such as non-covered prescription medications, alternative therapies and a nutrition/fitness program.
We are grateful for the opportunity to have been invited to take part for the past 4 years, and look forward to helping make a difference in the lives of so many Floridians again in 2007!
