The holidays are almost here, and while we’re all juggling a lot, we hope you’ll join us in something meaningful this season.

Giving Tuesday is the Tuesday immediately following Thanksgiving, a day dedicated to giving back to our community and supporting those who need it most.

We’re launching DHC’s Gift of Care campaign for Giving Tuesday, a chance to give back and help ensure our neighbors have what they need this winter. We’re raising funds to refill our pantry with non-perishable foods and essential hygiene products.

By giving to the Gift of Care, you’re offering comfort, dignity, and hope during a season when it’s needed most.

If you’re able, please consider donating and helping us keep our shelves stocked and our community supported.

❤️ Thank you for standing with us.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance.
We pause to honor and remember the transgender individuals whose lives were taken by violence, discrimination, and hate. Every name represents a story, a family, and a future that should have been protected.

At DHC, we stand with our transgender community members today and every day. We remain committed to providing affirming HIV prevention services, supporting mental health and wellbeing, and advocating for safer, more inclusive communities across Delaware.

No one should live in fear for being who they are.
We uplift the voices, dignity, and rights of transgender people, and we recommit to building a world where everyone can live openly, safely, and with pride.

🕯️ We remember. We honor. We stand together.

Across Delaware, thousands of households are bracing for the potential disruption of SNAP food benefits amid the ongoing government shutdown. For many, these benefits mean stability, nutrition, and peace of mind; and the loss of them will be felt most deeply by people already navigating chronic illness, stigma, and economic hardship.

At the Delaware HIV Consortium, we know that health is inseparable from access to food and dignity. Our food pantry remains fully open for Delawareans living with HIV and others in our care network who may be affected by this crisis.

We continue to collaborate with local partners and community organizations to ensure uninterrupted access to prevention, care, and nutrition for those who need it most.

If you or your organization is seeing increased need, reach out.
If you have the means to help others, consider supporting our food pantry for Delawareans living with HIV at https://secure.qgiv.com/for/delawarehivconsortium.
Together, we can sustain the network of care that keeps Delaware strong.

🌟 The AIDS Walk Delaware has officially wrapped up! 🌟

Thank you to everyone who made the AIDS Walk Delaware on September 20th such an incredible success!

Because of you, our amazing walkers/fundraisers, sponsors, volunteers, and in-kind donors, a total of $82,626 was raised in support of AIDS Delaware, the Delaware HIV Consortium, and other local organizations in the fight against HIV.

Progress doesn’t pause and neither can we. Keep doing all you can to uplift and strengthen our communities.
See you next year!

The Delaware HIV Consortium mourns the passing of Peter Houle, MBA, who served as Executive Director for 17 years. Peter led the Delaware HIV Consortium from 2003 until 2020 with compassion, vision, and heart. During his tenure, DHC grew from a small staff of seven to a statewide organization serving hundreds of Delawareans living with and affected by HIV each year. He helped establish many of the programs our community relies on today; from HIV testing and medical case management to food and hygiene pantries, PrEP education, syringe services, and re-engagement programs.
Peter’s leadership shaped Delaware’s HIV prevention and care landscape and his dedication to equity, dignity, and service leaves an enduring mark on all of us.
Our hearts are with Peter’s family, friends, and everyone who had the privilege of working with him. His legacy lives on in every life DHC continues to serve.
