About Us:

In June of 1981, the world entered an intense battle with the disease we now know as HIV/AIDS.  As the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and healthcare providers struggled to identify and treat this new health threat, organizations like the AIDS Coalition of Southern New Jersey (ACSNJ) joined them on the front lines.  

ACSNJ was founded in 1988 and incorporated in 1989.  Since this time, ACSNJ has grown from a small grassroots organization with only several programs into a comprehensive social service agency with a wide array of programs and services for individuals and families. 

Over the years the face of HIV/AIDS has changed and new challenges have emerged.  Today, 74% of those living with HIV/AIDS in New Jersey are 40 years of age or older - many of whom have children, spouses, partners or extended family that need their support.  Unfortunately, many individuals living with this life-altering disease face a multitude of challenges related to caring for themselves and their loved ones.  These include homelessness, unstable housing, inadequate food, lack of financial resources, discrimination related to disclosure of HIV status, depression and chronic fatigue to name a few.  ACSNJ helps clients address these and many other issues and provides meaningful opportunities for them to manage the disease and continue to contribute to their families and the community. 

You Can Make A Difference:

Each year there are over 150 people newly infected with HIV in Southern New Jersey.   ACSNJ strives support as many of these individuals and those already battling the disease within our four county service area or Burlington, Camden, Gloucester and Salem.  To do so, we rely heavily upon the generous and continued support of individuals, companies and foundations throughout our community.  For us, impact is everything!  We work diligently go have a positive impact on the lives of those fighting HIV/AIDS and those at high risk of contracting the disease.  Your financial support helps to make that impact possible. Together we can make a difference!
