HIV/AIDS Resources and Community Health (ARCH) is launching the fourth annual Red Scarf Project in Guelph, Wellington, Dufferin and Grey-Bruce counties.
The Red Scarf Project raises awareness to help reduce HIV/AIDS stigma by encouraging people to wear red scarves as a symbol of support during December and the end of November.
Last year ARCH distributed hundreds of red scarves to community members is hoping to build on this momentum and increase the impact.
ARCH will be distributing scarves during AIDS Awareness Week 2017 from Nov. 24 to World AIDS Day on Dec. 1 and invites individuals, organizations and local businesses to contribute by:
– knitting, crocheting or sewing red scarves;
– donating fabric and yarn; or
– wearing a red scarf when you are out and about and sharing a photo on social media wearing a red scarf.
Scarves and yarn donations can be dropped off at ARCH during office hours (113-89 Dawson Road, Guelph) from now location from now until November 20th.
