There are many opportunities for individuals to make a difference in the lives of hundreds of people challenged with HIV and AIDS from meal preparations and gardening at Founders Cottage to fundraising and office support throughout the agency.

Legacy Founder’s Cottage, a 7 bedroom home in Oak Cliff that provides patients who are critically ill with love, comfort, and around the clock care in their final days also needs volunteers. Cottage volunteers participate in activities, prepare meals, play games, watch movies and spend time with patients since many of them have no family or friends. We also need volunteers to help maintain our serenity garden out back featuring home-grown tomatoes and hand-picked peaches, among other fruits and vegetables.
