Since 1989, AIDS Family Services has provided a lifeline to thousands of individuals living with and affected by HIV/AIDS. The Rev. Dr. Robert Perelli founded the organization to provide a compassionate, intentional response to meet the emotional, mental, and spiritual needs of those infected and affected by the emerging epidemic of HIV/AIDS.

Twenty years later, AIDS family Services continues to provide supportive services to the HIV/AIDS community. Our core values are as follows:
