Project Lazarus

Project Lazarus is a residence for men and women living with HIV and AIDS who can no longer live independently, or whose family and friends can no longer take care of them. Our primary purpose is to provide continuity of care in a homelike environment. Our goal is to enhance the quality of life of those we serve.

Loyola service learning students are invited to interact with our residents through conversation, games and activities, crafts and entertainment, or special events (for example, barbecues). Volunteers can also help the residents of Project Lazarus by preparing and sharing meals in our houses, working in the garden and landscaping the yard, or accompanying residents for short shopping trips and medical appointments. Before volunteering, you should make an appointment with our volunteer coordinator. New volunteers are encouraged to attend resident meetings to get to know our community (resident meetings are held Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9:30 - 10:30 am).
