February’s Mission of the Month is Caracole

Caracole is an organization located in Cincinnati that provides HIV prevention, testing and harm reduction programs for the community, as well as housing and health care assistance for individuals and families living with HIV/AIDS.

Caracole has been offering services to adults living with HIV/AIDS since 1987 and is the

only HIV/AIDS organization in our region. The agency annually serves thousands of

people living throughout the Tri-State region in Southwest Ohio, Northern Kentucky,

and Southeast Indiana.

Lakeview UCC has been supporting Caracole for more than a decade with both monetary and in-kind donations.
