This year’s Walk for Life returns with one clear message:⁠
Silence Is Not an Option.⁠
⁠
Join us as we walk in remembrance, in resistance, and in unwavering commitment to our community. When voices are challenged, we show up louder. When stigma persists, we move forward together.⁠

Tomorrow is Christmas in July. ❤️🎄

For more than 40 years, the Imperial Sovereign Court of Hawaiʻi has brought our community together to support people living with HIV.

Christmas in July began during the height of the HIV epidemic, when many people didn’t know if they would live to see the holidays. The Imperial Sovereign Court of Hawaiʻi created this event to bring a little Christmas cheer in the middle of the year and remind people they weren’t alone.

Today, that tradition continues.

Join us tomorrow to celebrate, support a great cause, and help continue a legacy of compassion that has been uplifting our community for decades.

We hope to see you there.

Yesterday, we celebrated a truly special milestone: the retirement of Joe Thompson, the first H3RC team member to retire.

For more than 30 years, Joe has served the people of Maui with compassion, dignity, and unwavering commitment. Beginning with The CHOW Project in the 1990s, he helped build harm reduction services on Maui, providing syringe exchange, safer-use supplies, education, and hope to countless individuals.

For three decades, Joe showed up for his community, building trust and reminding people that everyone deserves care and respect.

Hōʻomaikaʻi, Joe, on your well-earned retirement. Mahalo for your extraordinary service, your kindness, and the lasting impact you’ve made on Maui and on H3RC. We wish you nothing but happiness in this next chapter.

Last night, Team H3RC had the privilege of celebrating one of our own.⁠
⁠
Congratulations to Kunane Dreier on receiving the Hoʻowaiwai Award from ʻEkolu Mea Nui in recognition of a lifetime of service to our community.⁠
⁠
For decades, Kunane has shown what it means to lead with compassion, resilience, and aloha. He has mentored countless people, advocated for those whose voices too often go unheard, and helped build a stronger, more inclusive Hawaiʻi. His impact can be seen in the lives he's touched and the communities he's helped shape.⁠
⁠
Mahalo to Mayor Derek Kawakami for presenting this special recognition, and to ʻEkolu Mea Nui for honoring Kunane and celebrating the legacy he continues to build.⁠
⁠
We're incredibly proud to call you a colleague, mentor, and friend. Congratulations, Kunane. This honor is so well deserved. ⁠

⁠
PrEP n' Play is more than an educational event. It's a chance to meet people, ask questions, enjoy great food, and connect with others who care about sexual health.⁠
⁠
Whether you're on PrEP, thinking about starting, or simply want to learn more, you're welcome here.⁠
⁠

Community is built through partnership. 💚⁠
⁠
Mahalo to Starbucks partners across Hawaiʻi for selecting H3RC as a recipient of the Starbucks Neighborhood Grants program.⁠
⁠
Their support goes far beyond this generous grant. Every month, Starbucks partners volunteer their time to help distribute fresh food to our community, showing up with compassion, energy, and a genuine commitment to helping others.⁠
⁠
We're incredibly grateful for this continued partnership and for the Starbucks partners who choose to invest in healthier, stronger communities across Hawaiʻi.⁠
⁠
Mahalo for standing with H3RC and the people we serve. ☕💚⁠

Community, connection, and care all in one place.

Last month’s CHOW Party Health Fair brought together more than 60 community members and 12+ service providers for an afternoon of resources, support, and connection.

From healthcare and housing resources to food, clothing, and community services, the CHOW Party is all about making it easier for people to access the care they need in a welcoming and affirming space.

A special mahalo to Harris United Methodist Church for graciously hosting us and to all of our community partners who made the day possible. Together, we’re building healthier, stronger communities.

We can’t wait to see you at the next CHOW Party! 💜
