Donations/Investments
(Funds, Supplies & Equipment)
Agape has been fortunate in receiving funding from several area foundations. Other funding sources include patient donations, We are seeking other sources of funding such as churches, sunday school classes, and individuals who can support this work with a one-time OR an ongoing investment in mercy. Please see the Agape Activities Report for a sense of the return on investment.
We also need donations of medications, staff support, supplies, and equipment. Please see following list. We are a non-profit [501(c)(3)] organization and donations are tax-deductible. Other needs include:
- Primary care medical equipment
- Disposable supplies of all types
- Office furniture and equipment
- Medications - especially antibiotics such as Levaquin, Zithromax, etc. - also SSRIs, dermatological agents of all kinds, and other primary care medications. No opioids, other drugs of potential abuse. Photo: Community volunteer and children.
Volunteers
A variety of volunteers
are needed to help deliver quality health, spiritual, and social services.
Our most pressing needs are for people willing to make a commitment to regular
involvement, i.e., one morning or 
afternoon
every week or every first Friday, etc. Photo: Nancy, a volunteer from
the neighborhood. Specific needs include:
- Physicians: Please see the Texas Medical Journal [vol. 96(6), 60-62] for definitive information and the good news on volunteering and liability. "The Texas Charitable Immunity and Liability Act gives physician volunteers . . . immunity from civil liability in providing nonemegency medical services if they can verify that they are working for a charitable organization, act in good faith, and obtain written consent from the patient" (p. 61). The clinic has five private exam rooms, a provider work area, translators, basic lab services, and a well-stocked pharmacy.
- Spanish translators: The primary need is for people who can work in the clinic or make home visits with nurses or social workers.
- Lay volunteers: There are many opportunities, including working in the clinic (check-in, reading to children, etc.), helping people through public health clinic systems, advocacy, spiritual care, tutoring, and more. Define your own role.
- Nurses: Opportunities include clinic, home visits, patient/community education, and other (define your own role).
- Social workers and patient advocates: Our patients and families are a joy to work with - very few are looking for a free ride.
- Chaplain/spiritual care (ordained or lay): We are committed to providing holistic care. Again, the greatest need is for consistent involvement.
Times/days needed (though you may want to define your times/days, too) are Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
