In The Old Pueblo

TIHAN (Tucson Interfaith HIV/AIDS Network) is seeking a diverse group of volunteers that represent a cross section of our community to join existing volunteers in meeting the program and service needs of our CarePartners, people living with HIV/AIDS. TIHAN's goal is to have our volunteers reflect the ethnic diversity of the people we serve. With your help, we will continue to grow — not to become bigger, but to become better.

TIHAN has a variety of volunteer opportunities that will allow you to give as much or as little time you can (quarterly, monthly, or weekly). We are seeking both professional and non-professional volunteers who have a sincere interest in making life better for a sometimes forgotten group of special people, our CarePartners. Please join TIHAN, Thursday, September 11, 5:15 - 9:15 p.m. at 1011 N. Craycroft #301, and make a difference!

For more information, contact Kim Talerico (520) 299-6647, kim@tihan.org, tihan.org.
