The National Week of Prayer for the Healing of AIDS is an annual HIV awareness campaign. Now in its 38th year, the campaign has called on people of faith to pray, dismantle stigma, and model unconditional love and compassion to all people living with and affected by HIV. With a week of in-person events around Rochester, and online activities, there are many ways to honor lives and restore hope.
We extend our thanks to the many partners who made this week’s events possible: Action for a Better Community, The Balm in Gilead, Inc., Health Transformers, Inc., Jordan Health, Mocha Center from Trillium Health, Oasis Living Water Church, Sullivan’s Chat N Chew, Inc., and Woman to Woman.
