AIDS Service Association of Pinellas, Hospice of the Florida Suncoast, ASAP

Community Programs

ASAP is proud to host the Medical Co-pay Assistance Program. This program helps clients with limited financial aid for doctor visits, lab work and medications. To quality, a client must be HIV positive, employed, insured and reside in Pinellas County. In addition, 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 items they will most use. We at ASAP are dedicated to service 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 to the community. Clients are encouraged to invite their friends and families to attend. Our goal is to promote kinship, awareness and education in a safe, enjoyable environment. On a quarterly basis educational speakers are brought in to present the latest, 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 AIDS Walk St. Petersburg, Dining Out For Life, The World AIDS Day Gala, World AIDS Day Prayer Breakfast and a presence at community festivals.
