POV: We survived Portsmouth Pride in 95° weather and still had an amazing time. 🌈☀️

Here are a few highlights from the 5th Annual Portsmouth Pride Fest!

From great conversations and new connections to community resources, laughter, and lots of Pride, High Street was full of energy all day long. Our Outreach team showed up ready to engage, support, and celebrate with the community—and y'all showed up too. ❤️

Huge thanks to Amazon.com for helping keep our team cool with turbo fans and for providing giveaways that made our table even more fun for attendees.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, grabbed resources, shared a story, or simply said hello. Events like these remind us why community matters.

Some of the hardest parts of living with HIV aren't physical. It's the feeling that no one understands, the fear of being judged, the moments when you feel like you're carrying everything on your own.

We get that here. That's why we’ve created a safe space with us where you can access:

💙 Free resources
💙 HIV testing kits
💙 HIV care and treatment support and most importantly
💙 A community of people who understand the journey

If you're looking for a safe space to connect, share, and learn, join us for our monthly HIV Support Group, held every second Tuesday of the month.

📅 Our next meeting is today (Tuesday, June 9).
⏰ 6pm - 7:30pm
📍247 28th Street Newport News, VA 23607

There's a seat waiting for you.

We’re still riding the energy from our CHR Community Day!

The day brought together staff, partners, and community members for a shared purpose: showing up for one another and making resources more accessible right where they’re needed most.

From on-site services to small moments of care and conversation, it was a reminder of what’s possible when community comes together intentionally.

A big thank you to everyone who contributed time, energy, and support to make the day such a meaningful experience. Special shout out to our barber who stayed busy all day serving the community with so much care. 💙

We’re grateful, we’re energized, and we’re already looking forward to the next one!
