6th Annual Ozarks Red Ribbon Ride

 The 6th annual Ozarks Red Ribbon Ride started with a bang this year, literally! A little thunder, a little rain, and a lot of dedicated riders made this year one to remember. We had 202 cyclists this year which was an expected decrease due to the weather. But by noon the rain was gone and the party was underway. The riders relaxed with lunch and beverages provided by Galloway Station and New Belgium Brewing, prizes were awarded and a Fat Tire bike was auctioned off to the highest bidder. “Big Fat Fun” was had by all!

 
With the help of all our sponsors  and cyclists we raised $28,000 at the RRR. We would like to send a very special thank you to M.A.C. Cosmetics for helping raise money this year and for matching $6400 worth of donations! We are honored to work with such amazing community minded people.

Our Pantry is Empty

APO relies on the generous contributions of the community to keep our pantry stocked. At the moment our pantry is completely bare.  APO typically maintains a pantry stocked with personal care items and house cleaning items that cannot be purchased with food stamps. The pantry is dependent on donations, so supplies are limited and availability varies. Stocking the pantry is a great way for churches, schools, and other groups to assist persons living with HIV in the Ozarks.

We are reaching out to those in our community asking you to please consider donating items to the APO pantry so that we may continue to provide necessary hygiene items to those who would otherwise go without.
 
Items needed:
 
*Laundry Soap   *Dish Soap   *Shampoo   *Conditioner   *Toothbrush   *Hydrogen peroxide   *Hand and body lotion   *Deodorant   *Toilet paper   *Disposable razors   *Shaving cream   *Hand and body soap   *Toothpaste   *rubbing alcohol   *Paper towels
