Paint the Town RED

Currently Signing-Up Participating Establishments for Thursday, May 2nd

Only the best restaurants, bars and clubs in the Rhode Island area will participate by donating a percentage of their total sales on May 2nd to help ACOS achieve our mission. In turn, we promise to pack these establishments and make sure it is busy on the night of the event so it is a win-win for both parties. It's simple to participate. Just visit one (or more) of the participating businesses on May 2nd and eat, drink and be merry. That's It!

ACOS Needs YOUR Support

Join our Events Committee or Help With Admin Work!

Like most non-profits, ACOS is ALWAYS looking for volunteers. The benefits of volunteering can be enormous. Volunteering offers vital help to people in need, worthwhile causes, and the community, but the benefits can be even greater for you, the volunteer. The right match can help you to find friends, connect with the community, learn new skills, and even advance your career.

You Can Truly Make A Change

Sign Up For Our Change Round-Up Program!

When you link your eligible payment card and set your monthly giving level, AIDS Care Ocean State automatically “rounds up” your transactions to the next dollar amount and donates that spare change. For example, if you spend $17.83 at a restaurant on your linked debit card or credit card, AIDS Care Ocean State will add 17 cents to your purchase.

Legislation that will help reduce the spread of HIV transmission by making HIV-prevention and post-exposure medications accessible and covered by insurance, including newer injectable formulations, was signed into law at Open Door Health in Providence, RI's only LGBTQ+ dedicated primary care and sexual health clinic.
