Volunteer Positions Needed:
TRANSPORTATION: Volunteer drivers who commit to half-day duty shifts transport clients to medical appointments, office visits, errand destinations and the like.
HOME-DELIVERED MEALS: As many as ten clients daily may receive a meal at home delivered by a volunteer. Area restaurants or individuals donate meals. This program is restricted to clients who are very ill, unable to prepare food, and have no caregiver to do so for them.
HOUSECLEANING AND MAINTENANCE: Volunteers help clients with light housekeeping and chores when clients cannot complete the tasks themselves. This includes transporting and installing home furnishings and appliances that are donated to AIDS Help from time to time for use in our housing program.
SHOPPING: Volunteers help clients with shopping by accompanying them to stores or by doing the shopping themselves and delivering the purchases (food, medications, household goods, etc.) to clients' homes.
MOVING ASSISTANCE: Volunteers assist clients in moving to new homes.
BUDDY COMPANIONSHIP: This is intensive companion service, usually provided one-on one, and by specially trained "buddy" volunteers to clients in person and by phone in the client's home, community or care facility. These volunteers offer emotional support, friendship, practical assistance and compassionate care throughout the changes in a client's life and health circumstances.
FAMILY SUPPORT AND RESPITE: Volunteers provide substitute care for family members or other caregivers who are providing intensive care for seriously ill clients needing round-the-clock attention.
LEGAL SERVICES: Office or at-home assistance to clients in terms of legal power of attorney, living will, disposition of remains, notary services, landlord-tenant disputes, and other legal matters.
PET CARE: Volunteers feed and care for clients' pets when clients are hospitalized or otherwise unable to tend to pets.
EVERY PENNY COUNTS: Every Penny Counts is a 365 day a year fundraiser that benefits AHI. Penny Jars have been placed in strategic locations all over the island, and volunteers retrieve and deliver collected money to AIDS Help.
OFFICE WORK: Volunteers assist staff daily at the office. These tasks may include working reception, filing, typing, etc.
SPECIAL EVENTS: AIDS Help, Inc. does a number of fundraisers and special events throughout the course of the year. Volunteers may be needed to set up and tear down, handle payments, meet and greet, etc.
