A HUGE shout-out to our friends at First & Central Presbyterian Church!

Late last year, their congregation provided much needed toilet paper, for our food pantry; and a donation of $1,605 to support AIDS Delaware’s work in Wilmington.

Kindness like this makes a big difference for the people and families we serve.

AIDS Delaware and First and Central aren’t just neighbors in downtown Wilmington — we’re partners in creating a healthier world.

Thank you for standing with us and for showing what community support can look like in action.
