In Dallas, students worked with AIDS Services of Dallas for the third year. K-State Alternative Spring Breaks Teams served at this site in 2003 and 2004. AIDS Services of Dallas (ASD) is a nonprofit organization that provides medically supportive housing to low-income persons and families impacted by HIV/AIDS. Because they are a non-profit organization, ASD is very dependent upon the support of volunteers to accomplish goals. The Community Service Program is excited to continue this established partnership.
