Arkansas RAPPS

I'm thrilled to share that The Strilite Foundation and our partners at UAMS will be offering access to free HIV screenings during this year's Central Arkansas Pride activities October 17th in downtown Little Rock.

TSF will establish it's mobile " Stay Ready Health and Wellness," Command Center that will feature access to the service experts, Prep info, snacks, beverages, swag bags and a $10 gift card for the first 50 participants.

A Day with HIV captures a single 24-hour period in the lives of people affected by HIV—that’s everyone, regardless of status. Each September 22, aligned with the equinox, this day set aside to share your day with HIV.

Today, I added my contribution to that digital time capsule, so that anyone who explores it, will find that "I was here," and my life stood for something more than just existing. I encouraged others to do the same in this spot, but as usual, we have low wattage participation or interest.

Nevertheless, we move on with our assignment to be of service and stay laser focused on leveling up to the next level. It very clear that everybody is not prepared to go with you, so you do what you can, with what you have and get busy getting it done.

Thank you, lord, for giving me another day with HIV because so many other's I remember are not here to share it with me! Peace, Love and Light!

It's been nine month since we proclaimed a "Mindshift 2026," and its been one hell of a year so far! We prayed for increase and it was in our favor with two more property acquisitions and outreach from collaborators wanting to take us higher.

We at Arkansas RAPPS are grateful to all our partners, investors, volunteers, and believers in our mission and vision. It is our goal to end up 2026 with additional building blocks to our success and continuing to create "Black excellence," in the name of service.

Please watch all our digital platforms for announcements, updates, and more "connecting to people, one person at a time!"

A Day with HIV captures 24 hours in the lives of people affected by HIV—that’s everyone, regardless of status. Arkansas RAPPS believes that photography and the power of storytelling combined can confront stigma.

Every year, A Day with HIV coincides with the autumnal equinox—one of only two days of the year when day and night are the same length. It signifies balance; in some ancient cultures, the equinox also signaled a time for change. What better day to take your best shot against stigma? Learn more at www.arrapps.org

What a time we had on Saturday during our Yard Sale and community engagement! A huge thanks to all who pulled up and found something for their needs and made a donation toward our Nutritional Program including our Blessing Box project.

Although we divested quite few items, we did have a few items left that we may offer in an online session later this year. Of course, you can also share a gift anytime at our cash app $LivingRoom8615.
