We love our partners at Hell’s Kitchen and love that they have been a great neighbor to our community for years. This year, they’re showing up again by participating in Dining Out For Life on April 30 to help end HIV.

Supporting our local restaurants right now is more important than ever, so when you dine out on April 30, you’re not just supporting HIV services. You’re standing with the restaurants that have stood with this community through everything.

For more information on how to participate in Dining Out For Life, visit the link in our bio.

Dine out. End HIV. Love your neighbor.

Yesterday, our community showed up at the Minnesota State Capitol for HIV On The Hill and it was amazing! Stories were shared. Lawmakers were met face to face. And in the hallways of that building, something powerful took shape: more than 180 advocacy actions in a single day on behalf of people living with HIV across Minnesota.

That doesn’t happen without you.

HIV advocacy asks a lot, from vulnerability to courage, and the conviction that your voice carries weight even when the space feels intimidating. Yesterday, you reminded everyone that it does.

Thank you for showing up. Thank you for speaking truth to power. We’re proud to stand alongside you.

This is Abi's Restaurant. Woman-owned. LatinX-owned. Community-rooted.

When times got hard, restaurants like Abi's didn't close their doors to our community, and they're back again as one of our incredible Dining Out For Life partners this April 30.
When you dine at Abi's on April 30, they'll donate 25% of every meal directly to Aliveness Project. So grab a friend or two and make your meal matter.

Happy Transgender Day of Visibility. 🏳️‍⚧️

Trans folks have always been part of the Aliveness community as clients, advocates, volunteers, neighbors, and friends. And trans visibility isn’t just about being seen. It’s about being served, protected, and cared for. Trans people continue to face real and disproportionate barriers to healthcare, including HIV prevention and treatment. That is unacceptable, and it’s why we show up.

Today we celebrate our trans community and show up with our partners who are demanding and organizing for the justice, safety, and autonomy of every trans person.
