BizAID for AIDS campaign
Now in its 21st year, BizAID for AIDS was developed by New Leaf Community Markets and Santa Cruz Aids Project (SCAP) as a way for businesses to support people in Santa Cruz County living with HIV. Participating companies throughout Santa Cruz County have committed to SCAP a percentage of sales or a specific amount to donate during the ten days after Thanksgiving. SCAP provides critical support to people living with HIV/AIDS for free, including referrals, psychosocial support and financial support, plus outreach to high-risk populations to prevent the spread of HIV, Hepatitis C, and sexually transmitted diseases. You can support SCAP by patronizing businesses displaying BizAID for AIDS posters in their windows. For more information about this campaign and participating companies, visit: www.scapsite.org,
