RAIN is a program which enables volunteers, working in Care Teams, to live out their faith in service to persons living with AIDS. RAIN’s mission is to develop an informed, compassionate response to those persons. Unity has 2 Care Teams who are now working with their care partners. Other teams are needed, as are those who would be willing to help with driving others to doctor’s appointments or to the grocery. There is also a need for occasional babysitting for children while their parents are in support group meetings.
RAIN – the Regional AIDS Interfaith Network – works to provide care and compassion for individuals and families in North and South Carolina who face the daily challenges of living with HIV/AIDS. In addition, they provide prevention education and social awareness to faith and community groups, young people, and clergy. This mission is greatly assisted through CareTeams of volunteers from a diverse collection of congregations to provide practical, emotional, and spiritual support and assistance to those impacted by this disease.
