The Berkeley Free Clinic
is a volunteer -based, non-profit organization, which has been providing
much-needed medical, dental, counseling, HIV testing, and other services
since 1969. The Berkeley Community Health Project, Inc., as it is legally
known, has also been a major force in health education, running extensive
training programs for volunteers and others in the community.
The band members first met through their volunteer work at the Free
Clinic.
