General Contributions to HARC

Since its founding more than 25 years ago, HARC has been based on the concept of community, of people helping each other. Your generous contributions have allowed HARC to stay focused on its mission of providing HIV related services to our community through compassionate direct care, prevention, and outreach activities.

Today, we need your support more than ever. While there have been great advancements in the treatment of HIV/AIDS, there is still so much work to be done. There are over 50,000 people each year in the United States that get infected with HIV. It is particularly distressing that people under 25 are estimated to make up half of all new HIV infections in this country. Over 900,000 people in the United States are living with HIV or AIDS and almost 300,000 of those people are unaware that they are infected.

The services provided by HARC each year continue to reach many people in need:

- Case management and advocacy services reaches over 200 people living with HIV or AIDS.
- Counseling, testing and referral services reaches over 700 people.
- Outreach and education reaches over 13,000 people.

Our greatest accomplishment, however, can best be expressed through the words of a dear client:

How much longer do I have? I don’t know. My diagnosis is “end stage AIDS infection”. The one thing I do know is that my interaction with HARC staff and clients has been memorable. HARC provides me with a safe place where I am accepted. The services and support that HARC has provided over the years are too vast to record here. To condense it into one thought: “HARC has helped me change from a person waiting to die from AIDS, to a person learning how to live with AIDS.”

HARC is always appreciative of any donation you can make. For more information about HARC, explore this website or contact us at (800) 578-2300, or (734) 572-9355.
