ACSA addresses a variety of issues including systemic poverty, hunger, housing, homelessness, unemployment, accessibility and social isolation. Over the years ACSA has been funded by all levels of government, several foundations, schools, local faith communities, and The United Way of Greater Toronto. Its strength remains in the original concept: To act as a bridge between people who need help and those who can provide it. For nearly 35 years the backbone of the organization has been the army of volunteers who help run an array of programs. While the original concept has remained the same, some of the methods have changed: more and more ACSA helps people to help themselves by providing ‘hand up’ programs rather than ‘hand out’ programs. Programs have also changed to reflect the ever-changing community needs. Community Engagement enables entire neighborhoods to work together to identify common issues of concern and to address them as a community.

Our agency has become an integral component in the region providing assistance and support to individuals and families infected/affected with HIV/AIDS.

The AIDS Committee of Windsor (ACW) is a non-profit registered charity mandated to provide education and support services with regard to HIV/AIDS for Windsor-Essex, and Chatham-Kent counties. The ACW was established in 1985 by community volunteers, including those from the University of Windsor and the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit who were concerned about the lack of response to the new disease that seemed to be attacking the gay community. The ACW has grown and expanded its services and educational opportunities, and is able to offer these services to the entire community. Supported by a dedicated staff of 14 and more than 150 volunteers, the organization reaches high-risk populations and the general public of Windsor-Essex, and more recently Chatham-Kent (with funds raised in those communities).
