Testimonial
“The Aliveness Project is a place where seeds of hope are planted. It took me 9.5 years as a member to grasp that concept….now I am ready to start bearing fruit.”
- Moncies
“Aliveness provides a safe place for me to volunteer to make a difference in the lives of others that may be struggling with addiction issues or homelessness and need someone to talk to and trust. I remember when that was me. This is a trusted place to hang out, get a hot meal and receive counseling with a friendly face.”

“Aliveness is a great community to be part of. As a volunteer, there are tons of great opportunities for me to give back to a community I care about. I know that what I am doing is making a difference, and the members and staff remind me of that everytime I’m here.”

For us, by us — Forever
Most of our staff share a variety of lived experiences with the community we support.
We’re on PrEP, living with HIV, recovering from addiction, living with mental health struggles, and have couch surfed or wondered where our next meal might come from.
Shame and stigma are not welcome here — but everyone else is.

"To be queer here at Aliveness Project is to be able to be your true genuine authentic self without feeling any judgment. It gives me a sense of safety.”
