Display Host: NJ Chapter of The AIDS Memorial Quilt - Please have a look at the blocks we chose for this virtual display: eight of the many Quilt Blocks with New Jersey remembrance. Established in 1997, the New Jersey Chapter continues to provide compassion and care to the New Jersey and beyond community. Our Mission is to support the national mission of the National AIDS Memorial Quilt; to promote awareness of HIV/AIDS; to serve as a local AIDS service organization; to build alliances with other local AIDS service organizations; and to help people remember and grieve for those who have died from AIDS-related diseases.

Display Host: Morristown - Delta Sigma Theta & The Touch Ministry of Calvary Baptist Church - The Morristown Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. and The Touch Ministry of Calvary Baptist Church have supported Morris County New Jersey individuals and families that have been affected by HIV/AIDS. The mission of the Touch Ministry is to “touch” those dealing with HIV/AIDS by showing God’s love and compassion. Morristown Alumnae has supported the Eric Johnson House in Morristown which provided a temporary haven for people coming to grips with HIV-AIDS by providing home-cooked meals on a weekly basis. Both organizations participate in the yearly AIDS walks. Quilt Block 5670 has special meaning as it was created by Bethel Angels, another organization that supports efforts regarding HIV/AIDS in Morris County, and is a memorial of lives lost to HIV/AIDS in Morris County.
Display Host: South Jersey AIDS Alliance - The South Jersey AIDS Alliance (SJAA) was founded by a group of concerned citizens in Atlantic City, New Jersey in 1985. It stands as South Jersey’s oldest and largest AIDS service organization. SJAA operates six support centers to assist clients in the Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland and Camden counties providing social support services for PLWH/A and harm reduction programs for those at high risk of contracting HIV. Our syringe access program and ARCH nurse program, that provides wound care, HIV/HCV/STI testing, pregnancy testing and vaccines, is located at our Oasis Harm Reduction Center in Atlantic City. In partnership with the AIDS Memorial Quilt SJAA will be virtually displaying eight quilt panels in celebration of World AIDS Day.
