Dining Out for Life & ASAP
Dining Out for Life benefits
community programs including the Medical Co-pay Assistance Program. This program
helps clients with limited financial aid for doctor visits, lab work and medications.
To qualify, a client must meet the following criteria. They must be HIV positive,
employed, insured and residing in Pinellas County. Additionally, clients are unable
to receive this service if they are on Disability, Medicaid or Medicare.
The Alfred T. May Food & Personal Needs Pantry supplements ASAP clients with basic
food and personal hygiene products. Clients are offered a designated number of items
on a monthly basis. This allows clients to choose that which they will most use.
We at ASAP are dedicated to serving our clients with the utmost respect and dignity.
The first Tuesday of each month we co-sponsor a collaborative fellowship dinner.
This dinner is free of cost to the community. Clients are encouraged to invite their
friends and family to attend. Our goal is to promote kinship, awareness and education
in a safe and enjoyable environment. On a quarterly basis educational speakers are
brought in with the latest and greatest up-dates on medications, services and developments
in the HIV/AIDS community.
The ASAP Community Program Team is also responsible for the development and marketing
of ASAP special events and fundraising. These events, include, but are not limited
to: AIDS Walk St Petersburg, Dining Out For Life, The World AIDS Day Gala and maintaining
a presence at community festivals.
