You Can Help
AIDS Thunder Bay depends on the public to be able to carry out its work. You can help in this work in a variety of ways: becoming a volunteer, making a donation, or becoming a member. We also have a number of funders that we wish to acknowledge and thank for their support. NOTE: You can make a secure donation online through CanadaHelps.org. Click on the icon below.
Why is your donation important and how will it be used?
The needs of people living with HIV/AIDS are constantly changing. The staff and volunteers at the AIDS Thunder Bay are constantly striving to keep up with these changes and meet the ongoing needs of our clients.
This includes addressing issues around housing, clothing, food banks, education, practical needs, medical needs, emotional support and much more. We also offer support services and education for affected people including family, friends, caregivers and others. Another large component of our work centers on education for the general public, in addition to target groups including women, youth, and people who use drugs - based on a harm reduction model.
Your donation today will assist the AIDS Thunder Bay in providing these services now and in the future. AIDS Thunder Bay is a registered charity (Registered Charity No.: 10668 9847). We gratefully accept donations and offer income tax receipts for gifts of $10 or over. Your generous contributions will help us continue in our fight against HIV/AIDS.
