Regional HIV/AIDS Connection (formerly AIDS Committee of London) is a community inspired organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for individuals and diverse communities living with, at risk for or affected by the challenges associated with HIV/AIDS.

The RHAC is a charitable organization established in 1985 in London, Ontario. Since 2007, they have been providing services in the six counties surrounding London - Perth, Huron, Lambton, Elgin, Middlesex and Oxford.

All people are welcome at RHAC. They strive to: 1. Improve the quality of life for those living with and affected by HIV/AIDS; 2. Reduce the number of new infections in our communities; and 3. Increase awareness about HIV/AIDS in the six counties we serve.

Without fundraised dollars, many of RHAC's free client programs would not exist:

Country Cupboard Foodbank ~ Assistance to supplement essential nutritional needs.

Wellness Assistance Fund ~ Provides life-saving medications to our clients.

Client Holiday Dinner ~ Annual opportunity to socialize and partake in a nutritious, festive meal.

AIDS Vigil ~ Two regional events for our communities to Remember, Honour and Celebrate.

PHA (People Living with HIV/AIDS) Retreat ~ A time to educate, socialize and address client wellness.

Monthly PHA Socials ~ Help address barriers of isolation by bringing clients together for activities and fellowship.

SHARE Stories of HIV/AIDS Related Experiences ~ A client based speaking group to educate the public.
