RAIN (Regional AIDS Interfaith Network)

Description

VISION: RAIN will be recognized as a model for providing compassionate care and a leader for innovative and effective AIDS work that engages a diverse network of volunteers committed to putting faith into action.

We will aspire to integrate the wisdom and voices of those infected with HIV/AIDS in the planning and delivery of our services.

We will be a leader and educator among health and human service organizations as well as faith-based and community groups, partnering with them on initiatives and promoting dialogue that seriously examines and deals with the spiritual and social justice issues connected with HIV/AIDS.

As a result of our work, we will inspire and empower more people to live, open more minds and help break the stigma of HIV/AIDS regionally, nationally and internationally.

Population Served: RAIN serves a 13 county region including: Anson, Cabarrus, Cleveland , Gaston, Iredell, Lincoln , Mecklenburg , Rowan, Stanly and Union in North Carolina and Chester , Lancaster and York in South Carolina .
