2018 National Volunteer Week
April 19, 2018
This is our time to recognize our volunteers and their service at Albuquerque Health Care for the Homeless. Volunteers make a better life possible for those who need it. Their commitment to their community through service has impacted thousands of people who are experiencing homelessness daily in Albuquerque.
Your volunteer service makes so much possible for people with so little. Your time is important and we are grateful that you choose to spend your valuable time in support of the AHCH mission.
People who are homeless don't have a safe place to go, don’t have money, don't have the most basic of foods to eat, a bed to lay their heads, or even private or immediate access to a restroom. And worst of all, people without homes are not safe living on the streets or in overcrowded spaces.
Volunteers have changed the course by creating opportunities and connection to resources. In 2017, 70 volunteers generously gave the gift of time and talent to AHCH, resulting in over 1,975 hours of action:
- Volunteers helped by providing coffee, hygiene packets and maintaining a clean, safe space
- Volunteers participated in fundraising campaigns that raised much needed funds to ensure that people experiencing homelessness can access AHCH’s comprehensive continuum of care
- Volunteers taught risk reduction, prevention, and intervention services
- Volunteers provided specialty services to people who needed vision and dental care
