Support HIV/AIDS Residents
ORGANIZATION: Catholic Charities Sf
Please visit the new page to apply.
The residents of our Leland House community suffer from chronic illness due to HIV//AIDS. They could use a helping hand on Mondays to get them to a doctors appointment, walk down the street for a little shopping, play board games, help serve lunch.
Most of the 45 residents were homeless before they found this safe haven, and really appreciate the little gifts of time volunteers can give.
Volunteers are required to fill out an application, come to an orientation and a trial placement.

Founded in 1907 and rooted in traditions of charity and justice, Catholic Charities supports families, youth, aging adults, adults with disabilities through social services and opportunities for healthy growth and development.
Description
We believe that families must be supported and strengthened. We believe seniors should be allowed to age in place with dignity. We believe immigrants and refugees should be welcomed with love and compassion. We believe every person deserves a chance to grow in safety. We believe we all have a responsibility to care for our neighbor. We believe in developing young minds and encouraging compassion in our community. We believe in strengthening families and reducing poverty. Rooted in our faith-based values of charity and justice, the mission of Catholic Charities is to serve and advocate for the poor, the sick, the distressed, children, youth, families, immigrants, and seniors, regardless of their faith.
