Matthew 25 AIDS Services, Inc. was created in 1996 by a group of concerned residents from the Henderson/Evansville area, attending Zion UCC, who had been personally affected by HIV/AIDS. They wanted to see an organized effort in the Tri-State to fight the disease, care for those infected and affected, and to provide education and prevention services for the residents of the community. Matthew 25, however, offers services regardless of geographic location. Matthew 25's mission is to support, educate, and treat those infected with and affected by HIV/AIDS.
