“I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.”
-Maya Angelou
Our work grows because people believe everyone deserves access to healing. When you choose to get involved, you help expand free acupuncture, herbal medicine, and preventive care across Western North Carolina and Upstate South Carolina. Every action you take helps someone receive care they would otherwise go without.
This page makes it easy to find a way to participate that feels meaningful to you.
Get Involved
Donate
Your generosity directly funds free acupuncture treatments, herbal medicine, outreach events, and the development of our mobile clinic. Every contribution helps us serve more people and expand access to preventive care.
Sponsor a Zero Cost Sunday
You can sponsor the supplies, herbs, and clinical time needed to run an entire Zero-Cost Sunday. Sponsorship allows us to welcome more community members into care and move closer to offering weekly and multi-day clinics.
Host a Fundraiser
Individuals, small businesses, campus groups, and community partners can host fundraisers that directly support free care. We provide materials, language, and support to make it simple and meaningful.
Partner With Us
Local organizations, small businesses, wellness centers, and community groups can partner with AIF to expand access to healing. Partnerships help build long-term community wellness and shared impact.
Become a Monthly Supporter
Monthly giving sustains our work week after week. Recurring support ensures we can continue offering Zero-Cost Sundays, stock herbal supplies, and respond to community needs year-round.
Volunteer
From helping prepare herbal kits to supporting outreach events, volunteers strengthen our ability to show up for the community. No clinical experience required; what matters most is a warm heart and willingness to help.
Invite us to your Organization
We offer stress-relief acupuncture sessions, herbal support, and educational talks at colleges, workplaces, and community centers. Your invitation helps us reach groups who may never access this kind of support.
Sponsor a Zero-Cost Sunday
Every Zero-Cost Sunday gives individuals a safe, supportive space to receive acupuncture and herbal support at no cost. Sponsorship covers the herbs, supplies, and clinical time needed to run a full clinic day. Your support allows us to welcome more people into care and move closer to offering weekly and eventually multi-day clinics.
Why your Involvement Matter
When you get involved with AIF, you make healing accessible to people who have been excluded from wellness spaces for far too long. You help a student breathe easier during finals, an older adult move with less pain, and a community member living with anxiety feel grounded and supported. Every act of support—whether through giving, volunteering, inviting us to your campus, or sponsoring a clinic—creates real, meaningful change.
Make a one time donation.
Your generous contribution enables us to continue providing accessible, high-quality care rooted in Classical Chinese Medicine and Eastern Herbal traditions to our community. Together, we're fostering a culture of holistic health and empowerment. Donate today and be a part of this transformative movement.
