We are getting ready to open The Way Stationand are asking for donations of Twin XL bed linens. A "bed-in-a-bag" would be awesome! Blankets and towels would be great, too. We are asking for only new items, please. Drop-offs can be brought to AIDS Alabama, 3529 7th Avenue So 35222. Thank you so much!

Help Make the Holidays Bright for Children In Our Housing Programs

Make a child’s holiday wish come true this year by donating to the 2022 Holiday Wish Program! AIDS Alabama’s Holiday Wish program provides gifts to the children in our housing programs – gifts they would not typically receive due to household income levels. Most children’s wish list total between $150-$200, and donations can be combined to purchase items from the child’s wish list. Spread the word to friends, family, coworkers, Sunday School classes, Church groups, or social groups! All donations are due by Thursday, December 1st.
