Client Referrals
We work hard at letting them know we are here to provide nutritional support for men, women and children living with HIV/AIDS.
Once we receive the referrals, we set up an intake interview, carried out by highly trained volunteers and/or our Meal Program Coordinator or Dietitian.
Twice each month a committee composed of clients, staff and health professionals reviews the applications and accepts those who are most in need of our help (because of financial constraints, we are often forced to turn down people we know would benefit from our service).
Clients are notified of our decision, those who are not accepted are kept on file for 3 months and encouraged to reapply if there is any change in their medical condition.
Those who have been accepted sign a client contract that outlines our mutual responsibilities for either a three or six month term.
