End of Year 2023
Look what your generosity helped us accomplish this year!
Thanks to your support, we were able to reach THOUSANDS of individuals in 2023 – more specifically, we tested 1,740 people for HIV and Hepatitis C; our Street Outreach program interacted with 3,043 community members; and we conducted 179 outreach and educational programs. Want even more specifics? The numbers below show how your generous donations helped us provide necessary care and resources for nearly 400 persons living with HIV/AIDS in our community.
-
In 2022, our case managers enrolled more than 187 uninsured clients into health insurance plans allowing them to better afford and manage their medical expenses.
-
In 2023, our case managers have helped enroll 361 clients in Medicaid or other health coverage programs making for a 92% coverage rate.
-
In 2022, more than 145 PRC clients used our internal Gregory L. Manifold food pantry as a nutritional stop-gap with over 55% using it every month which required over $20,000 to keep the pantry well-stocked.
-
With a drastic rise in food prices in 2023, 177 PRC clients currently utilize our internal food pantry with 75% using it every month requiring $24,000 to keep the pantry well-stocked this year.

Last year, more than 170 individuals accessed our PrEP program to keep themselves from acquiring HIV.

This year, 205 individuals have accessed PrEP. An additional 51 people have been enrolled in our NEW Hepatitis C program.
-
In 2022, over $90,000 of direct financial assistance was dispersed to assist clients with their rent and utility expenses without which they likely would have ended up homeless.
-
In 2023, over $123,000 of direct financial assistance was dispersed this year in response to rising housing and utility costs.
Help us continue our mission.
As you can see, we’re doing good work with good results because of good partners like you. Unfortunately, as we go into 2024 we will be experiencing a decrease in Federal and State funding which will require us to raise more on our own to maintain the level of services we’re currently providing. Your end-of -year donation is more crucial than ever. Whatever level of giving you can share will help us make up that short-fall and continue to prevent new cases of HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis.
