The mission of Akron AIDS Collaborative (AAC) is to broaden the network of caring organizations in the minority community; to influence social norms that contribute to the prevention of HIV/AIDS; and to increase advocacy for social services for people of color who are living with HIV/AIDS, and people who have suffered from sexual orientation stigma within the African American community.
AAC operates the Bayard Rustin LGBTQ+ Resource Center, a drop-in facility that offers case management services, which include housing, mental health, and substance use referrals, as well as help with navigating social services, like food stamps; HIV and COVID-19 testing; access to a shower and personal care items; access to a washer and dryer; and finally, a clothing bank, designed for people who identify as trans, and have a hard time finding gender-affirming clothing, in the proper size.
