History:
The Frannie Peabody Center (formerly the AIDS Project) was founded in 1985 by a small group of concerned volunteers. Since that time it has remained committed to the founders vision of a "comprehensive and compassionate response to HIV/AIDS". In January of 2001 the Kittery office was established at Landmark Hill Community Resource Center to more adequately serve the needs of those in Southern York county.
The Frannie Peabody Center continually looks to supply services to those in need, and change as the needs arise.
