Case Management:  
Licensed social workers assist persons with HIV/AIDS in developing a
personalized program that’s best suited to fit his or her mental, physical
and financial needs. Solutions are found to address such vital issues as:

  • Assistance obtaining mediations and medical treatment
  • Financial help for medical and dental bills
  • Medications
  • Housing referrals
  • Emergency rent and utility payments
  • Health insurance premiums
  • End-of-life documents
  • Counseling & Support Groups


Meeting Needs:  
With just 24 hours notice, we can provide medical supplies and food
from our well-stocked pantry.

Transportation:  
We offer rides or a bus pass to get clients to medical appointments on
time.

Testing:  
Free, confidential HIV testing with an answer in about 20 minutes is
conducted. Walk-ins are welcome, but please call ahead, if possible. The
test is performed using a simple finger-stick to collect only a drop of
blood. Support and guidance is available immediately after the results
are shared with the client.

Education:  
Violet’s Cupboard offers individual consultations aimed at keeping
persons living with HIV/AIDS abreast of the facts regarding their illness
and the latest developments in combating it.  We also provide
information to those trying to avoid contracting HIV/AIDS.

Support Groups:  
Violet’s Cupboard hosts a group for HIV-positive gay or bisexual men.
The agency can also put you in touch with area groups that help persons
with HIV/AIDS. Clients may participate in a “Buddy” program that links
them with another person with HIV/AIDS who can share his or her
insights and knowledge. In addition, referrals can be made to groups
organized to help family members and caregivers.

Home Visits:  
Social workers are available to visit clients unable to travel to Violet’s
Cupboard’s office.
