Winter Supply Drive Launches Today
We are excited to share that we’ll be bringing back the Winter Supply Kits that we’ve done in years’ past at CAP and Prism Health, and will be accepting donations starting today, January 10, for any and all winter supply items (see list below)! These items will be collected at Prism Health and the three CAP social service locations in Portland, Vancouver, and Longview through March 17, 2023. As items come in, we’ll then be assembling kits and/or dispersing items to patients and participants in need.

About Cascade AIDS Project
CAP is a non-profit organization that was founded in 1985 as a grassroots response to the AIDS crisis. As the oldest and largest community-based HIV services provider in Oregon and southwest Washington, we seek to support and empower all people with or affected by HIV, reduce stigma, and provide the LGBTQ+ community with compassionate healthcare. We do so by helping to ensure the health and well-being of our program participants each year through health, housing, and other social services. When the need for affordable, accessible, and culturally affirming primary care services was identified as a community need, we responded by opening Prism Health in 2017. More information can be found at www.capnw.org.
