When: November 12, 2013, 4:00pm-10:00pm

Why: On August 29, 2013, the Albany Damien Center sustained serious damage after a fire broke out causing the Center to shut its door at the South Lake location.

The Albany Damien Center is a community center for individuals and families living with and affected by HIV/AIDS.  Programs and activities offered are designed to improve health, reduce stress, and increase quality of life.

Currently, the Albany Damien Center is temporarily operating out of the First Lutheran Church on Western Avenue in Albany, NY.
