What is Boomerangs? Boomerangs is AIDS Action Committee's award winning thrift store operation which provides critical funding for the work we do to prevent the spread of new HIV infections and to improve the lives of thousands of people living with HIV/AIDS in Massachusetts. Our family of stores feature a wide array of high quality new, vintage and gently-loved merchandise, including women's and men's clothing, books, house wares, electronics and furniture. At Boomerangs, all the merchandise has been donated, either from our corporate supporters or from donors such as yourself. Your tax deductible donations are always welcome at any of our locations and for donations of furniture, we also offer the option of scheduling a pick up at your home or business.

AAC's mission is to stop the epidemic and related health inequities by eliminating new infections, maximizing healthier outcomes of those infected and at risk, and attacking the root causes of HIV/AIDS. AAC accomplishes this mission by providing services for men, women, and children living with AIDS and HIV; educating the public and health professionals about how to prevent HIV transmission in accordance with harm reduction principles; and advocating for fair and effective AIDS policy at the city, state, and federal levels. AAC also provides targeted outreach to those most vulnerable to HIV infection. In 2010, AAC merged with Cambridge Cares About AIDS to more efficiently deliver AIDS services in the Greater Boston area and expand its capacity for social justice work aimed at reducing the disparities among those infected and affected by HIV/AIDS. AAC runs the only statewide AIDS/STD Hotline (1-800-235-2331) and Hepatitis Hotline (1-888-443-4372). All Hotlines offer multilingual support. Free and confidential rapid HIV testing and counseling, and clean needle exchange is also available. For more information about AIDS Action, click here.
