The Aliveness Project

01/31/2026

Our DOFL restaurant partners have a long history of giving back to the Twin Cities. They support neighbors, staff, charities, and mutual aid that keep Minnesota Strong.

These restaurants are more than places to eat, they’re community hubs. In the most challenging times, they’ve stepped up as safe havens, offering shelter, care, and a warm meal when it’s needed most. 🍽️❤️

Fear should never be a barrier to food security. Aliveness Project has joined 100+ hunger-relief organizations condemning Operation Metro Surge and its impact on neighbors who are too afraid to eat, seek care, or leave their homes.

Minnesota is in crisis. Operation Metro Surge has left thousands of families unable to work or pay rent, forcing people who live paycheck to paycheck into fear. Many of our neighbors are afraid to leave home, putting basic needs like food, healthcare, and stability out of reach.

At Aliveness, we know that when people have a roof over their heads, food to eat, and stable living conditions, they experience safer health outcomes. This is why this work matters and why we must act now.

We are calling on state leaders to declare a State of Emergency and take immediate action to protect renters, working families, and public safety, including an eviction moratorium.

Take less than one minute to send an email urging state leaders to act on housing protections. https://win.newmode.net/alivenessproject/evictionmoratoriumunnow

On Friday, January 23, Aliveness will remain open to ensure our members have access to meals, HIV medications, case management, and community support.

At the same time, we stand in full solidarity with folks participating in the “ICE Out of Minnesota: Day of Truth & Freedom” a statewide pause of daily activity.

We believe our staff deserve the opportunity to show up for justice. Caring for our community includes caring for our staff. All staff will receive an additional paid day off they may use on January 23 if they choose to participate in the day of collective action.

We are staying open because our community, many of whom are immigrants, people of color, and people facing housing instability, still need care and support.

HIV health equity means fighting injustice in all its forms. We are proud to show up for our members and stand with our community.

Looking for a little joy, whimsy, and winter magic this weekend? ❄️✨
Come wander the ice at the Art Shanty Projects and be sure to visit the Madson AIDS Memorial Shanty.

This powerful and playful shanty invites visitors to share names, memories, love, and hopes for what a permanent AIDS memorial in Minnesota could be. It’s a space for reflection, connection, and community.

Bring a friend. Bundle up. Let yourself be delighted

At Aliveness Project, we refuse to let fear keep our neighbors away from care, connection, and support. Across Twin Cities, an unprecedented federal immigration enforcement surge is spreading fear and uncertainty, especially in immigrant and BIPOC neighborhoods. This anxiety makes it harder for folks living with HIV to access meals, medication, and community support we help meet every day.

This MLK Day, join us for Volunteer Orientation and stand with our members:
✨ Serve meals
✨ Pack harm-reduction kits
✨ Support folks in the food shelf

Dr. King taught that “Everybody can be great because everybody can serve.” Let’s serve together, especially when our community is under pressure.

Sherry met Cindy in a support group for women living with HIV. Sherry was scared and unsure how to talk about her diagnosis. Cindy showed up and that connection changed everything.

Cindy lived with HIV for 35 years and spent her life making sure no one walked alone. She passed away earlier this year, but her legacy lives on at Aliveness and in people like Sherry, who is still here and still building community.

When you give to Aliveness, you make this possible. Your support creates connection, community, and care. You ensure no one faces HIV alone.

Give today and help build a thriving community. give.aliveness.org/alivenessgift
