Central Illinois FRIENDS of People with AIDS is a regional non-for-profit AIDS service organization which has served the needs of individuals with HIV/AIDS in Central Illinois since June 1990. During its first decade of operation, Central Illinois FRIENDS of PWA has grown to become the most widely recognized and respected organization in our region who provide support services for HIV/AIDS patients and their families. In doing so, FRIENDS has been able to bring together people from a widely diverse set of backgrounds and philosophies in support of our efforts. These services reach the men, women, and children in Peoria, Woodford, Tazewell, Marshall, Putnam, Stark, LaSalle, Knox, Fulton, McLean, Mason, McDonough, Hancock, Henderson and Warren Counties.
FRIENDS is dedicated to assuring that people living with HIV/AIDS and their loved ones have access to community services which will enhance their quality of life.
FRIENDS programs are funded by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act, Illinois Department of Public Health, Health Resource and Service Administration, Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity and the Heart of Illinois United Way. In addition our corporate sponsors, foundation support, and donations, memorials, and local fundraising activities help provide important funding to our emergency assistance programs. Central Illinois FRIENDS of People with AIDS works in cooperation with the Peoria City/County Health Department and the Heart of Illinois HIV/AIDS Center at the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria.
