The Western North
Carolina AIDS Project
depends on volunteers to help address the
needs of over 300 HIV-positive clients in 11
western counties.
Our volunteers make
a real and sustainable difference through
direct client support, educating the public
on HIV prevention,
or assisting with our
yearly fundraising projects. |

WNCAP Volunteers Honored
Tracey
Whitehouse, Nonnie Bullard and Gary Locklear
were honored as WNCAP’s Volunteers of the Year for 2009 at the
annual Directors of Volunteers in Agencies (DOVIA) Volunteer
Appreciation Luncheon on Friday, April 24th at the Crest Center.
Tracey chaired the “Raise Your Hand Art Auction” in 2007 and
2008. Thanks to her tireless efforts, both these events raised
more than $120,000 to support WNCAP’s outreach, education and
support services. Tracey is an active mother of two and wife of
Dr. Jamie Whitehouse who is a WNCAP Board member. Her motto is:
“The best is ready to begin”. Thanks, Tracey!
Nonnie and Gary work for WNCAP in conjunction with “Loving Food
Resources”(LFR). Without fail, they show up EVERY second and
fourth Saturday morning to deliver boxes of food to homebound
people with HIV/AIDS in the Asheville area. Their unflagging
commitment is appreciated not only by WNCAP and LFR, but also by
the clients who would “go without” were it not for Nonnie and
Gary. You guys are the best! |
