How you help | Volunteers are a key component of ASGCC’s work. We rely heavily on volunteers for many of our services such as transportation, food and nutrition programs as well as administrative activities like answering phones or helping with large agency mailings. We also use volunteers to help us with fundraising events and other activities. We are fortunate to have very dedicated volunteers throughout the Cape however we can always use more help! |

About us | Our roots are in Provincetown, where in the early 1980’s community members joined together to respond to the emerging AIDS epidemic. For years this was a fight for the civil rights of people living with HIV, and equally so a fight for the lives of people living with HIV. Starting in the late 1990s, following the introduction of effective medication interventions which changed the lives of so many living with HIV, the agency’s services evolved (and expanded to include all of the Cape and Islands) to focus on helping clients live longer and healthier lives, ensuring they had access to healthcare, financial resources, and other vital support systems. Currently, ASGCC serves over 400 clients living with HIV, across all of the Cape and Islands with offices in Provincetown, Hyannis, Falmouth and Martha’s Vineyard. |
