AIDS Services Foundation Orange County's mission is to prevent the spread of HIV and improve the lives of men, women, and children affected by HIV/AIDS in Orange County.

ASF -Our Story:
A small group of volunteers founded AIDS Services Foundation, Orange County (ASF) in late summer 1985, because people were dying, desperately needed help, and had nowhere to turn. ASF is now the largest and most comprehensive not-for-profit AIDS-service organization in Orange County, with a staff of over 50 committed and caring individuals, a 22-member board of directors and hundreds of dedicated volunteers.

AIDS Services Foundation, Orange County helps more than 1,800 men, women, children, and families in Orange County living with HIV disease. Services include food, transportation, housing, emergency financial assistance, kids and family programs, mental health counseling, support groups and HIV education and prevention services. We hope for the day when we will never have to open our doors again. Until then, we work hard to ensure everyone living with HIV and AIDS in Orange County has access to life enhancing care and prevent its spread.

Largest organized institution to unite the confrontation of a deadly strain -AIDS. Could it be the church?
March 14, 2008

By Webster, Author

Suffering brings compassion. I hate to admit it...but this is true. Kay has suffered with open honesty and brings a mirror to our society...I know of few who have not been sexually molested or suffered from some type of trauma...Are we in the age of anxiety, depression? Can it be used for good? Now AIDS/HIV is happening in our very neighborhoods & communities...What are we going to do with this dangerous complexity now creeping into our back yards? Kay has highlighted the bottom line -truth...It must be the church...as imperfect as a body of believers can be, it is the largest organized institution to unite the confrontation of a deadly strain -AIDS. Kay Warren points this out! I was blinded until I read Warren''s book...THANK YOU KAY! The church is finally stepping out of the box...holding hands across the globe instead of cursing their neighboring churches for a worthy cause. How can anyone oppose the mega resources on AIDS within the body of Dangerous Surrender''s text...It is distiguished & complex!!! -Jennifer Hope Webster, Author...

Message below regarding the AIDS Brunch 2008: by Melanie Loo "The Gift"

Each year, Nurture host''s a Mother''s Day Celebrations for the ASF women of Orange County who are affected or infected with HIV/AIDS. And each year, we see new faces as well as returning faces. The joy is seen in both women who attend and the women who serve. When all is said and done, each of us returns home with a "sense of euphoria".
