Donating Dollars

The AIDS Support Network raises a part of our operating budget through donations. The support of individuals and businesses is vital to our continuing ability to provide comprehensive services to our growing number of clients.

ALL MONEY DONATED TO THE ASN STAYS IN SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY, helping residents of this county in their struggle with HIV disease and AIDS.

Money donated is tax-deductible. Since ASN is a non-profit (501 (c) 3) agency, your donated dollars can benefit you at tax time.

Your donation can be made in memory of a loved one, in honor of a special occasion, or toward a specific program such as our Client Retreat Program or our Steve Weiss AIDS Living Memorial Grove.

San Luis Obispo Syringe Exchange Program
'SLO Bangers'

SLOSEP / SLO Bangers is a local, community based effort to reduce the spread of blood borne infections associated with shared injection equipment.

We support a harm reduction approach to injection drug use and its consequences for individuals and the community at large. That includes support for a range of options - from abstinence to safer alternatives for active users.

Our clients run the gamut from daily opiate users, to weekend stimulant injectors, to occasional steroid shooters.

Our team of volunteers work to provide them all with the tools and resources to make informed decisions about injection use.

The AIDS Support Network serves as "SLO Bangers" fiscal agent. You may designate a donation specifically to support the Syringe Exchange Program by clicking on the donate button below. Your donation will appear as a donation to the AIDS Support Network on your credit card but be assured that the donation will go toward the Syringe Exchange Program.

WORLD AIDS DAY

The AIDS Support Network is working with local schools, businesses and the Mission to present three Human AIDS Ribbons in the community, commemorating World AIDS Day.

We partnered with Cal Poly and SLO High School successfully in the past and they are, once again, going to create these ribbons to raise awareness of HIV and AIDS in the community and around the world.  This year, if you are not connected with those two campuses, you can participate by wearing a red shirt and going to Mission Plaza to be part of the ribbon there.  Click on the location to follow the links on Facebook to each site:

Cal Poly:  11:30 a.m.

SLO High School:  12:15 p.m.

Mission Plaza:  12:45 p.m.

Make this a new annual event for you, your friends and your co-workers!
