Social Events

Held throughout the year, HIV Alliance invites all clients to attend client events. The agency hosts a holiday and a summer gathering each year. The events include food, activities, gifts (holiday party only) and fun.

Visit the Client Social Events Calendar for more information including times and locations by county.

Care Packages

Often clients struggle to meet basic needs. In addition to the emergency financial assistance we offer, we also offer care packages.

Care Packages– HIV Alliance provides hygiene and cleaning product packages to clients. Care packages are available in every county: monthly, every other month, or as requested (depending on county of residence).  Clients may receive one care package per month.  Clients living in Clatsop, Coos, Curry, Jackson, Klamath, Lake, and Lincoln Counties may request a care package from your Care Coordinator.

Client Newsletter

The Client Newsletter is a quarterly publication that provides information on upcoming events, HIV related articles, a prevention column called “Ask Fudge” and information about our Client Advisory Board.  If you don’t get the newsletter in the mail, let your Care Coordinator know or you can fill out the form below to subscribe to our eNewsletter format.
