n How People & Businesses Can Help
As most non-profits, we too depend greatly on the
financial support from those in our communities. Whether
that be from individuals, civic organizations, businesses,
corporations, or religious groups, all these and more help
APO provide many services and necessities for those we
provide medical care for. We encourage people to become
part of our Red Ribbon Loop monthly donor program so
that there is no lapse in the services that we are able to
offer to our clients. We also have a client pantry that is
supplied with everyday needs that many of us take for
granted like toilet paper, toothpaste, shampoo, deodorant,
feminine hygiene products, diapers, laundry detergent and
more. We can always use help from the public in keeping
our pantry stocked with these items.
