Partners
We are very appreciative of everyone that provides support to ARE. This is just one way we can say thank you.

The Lord Fairfax Health District in inclusive of Winchester City, Frederick, Clarke, Warren, Shenandoah and Page counties; AIDS Response Effort (ARE) takes pride in providing wrap around services to the residents of this region. It should be noted that our funding for the residents for this service area are often restricted based on predetermined geographical areas that the grants serve and not by ARE. |
 |
ARE entered into its partnership during its formation with Valley Health; it has been through this partnership that ARE has been able to continue to provide services for the past twenty years. While all of our partners are important to our operation, Valley Health provides in-kind services that are essential to our daily operation including but, not limited to: donated space, utilities, IS access and financial assistance. We at ARE are extremely grateful for the association with and support of such a generous community resource. |

AIDS Response Effort, Inc. has been affiliated with the united Way since 2008, when we were awarded a Community Impact grant of $12,000.00 to be used to provide testing and education outreach to the region. Since that time we have celebrated a strong partnership with the United Way of the Northern Shenandoah Valley receiving grant awards annually through a competitive application process. ARE is also a member of the United Way Combined Federal and Local campaigns. Ask your employer about how you can get involved and contribute to AIDS Response Effort. |
