We’re helping a small family move into their first apartment and are looking for a few household essentials to help them get started.

Do you have any gently used cookware, kitchen utensils or a working TV that you’re no longer using? If so, we’d love to have them! Your donation can make a meaningful difference as someone settles into their home and begins a new chapter.

If you’d like to donate, please send us a message or contact us at [email protected]

Thank you for helping Caracole create welcoming homes, one item at a time.

Today we honor people living with HIV for 20 years or more and the strength, resilience and courage it takes to get here.

Long-term survivors have lived through stigma, loss of loved ones, shifting treatments and countless challenges and continue to thrive, lead and inspire.

To our clients, community members and anyone living with HIV, you're a powerful reminder people can live full, healthy lives.

We see you and we stand with you—your story matters.

Tonight, join the community as we honor long-term survivors, remember those we've lost and celebrate the people who continue to lead, thrive and inspire:

A big thank you to the University of Cincinnati James L. Winkle College of Pharmacy for collecting personal care items for our clients at Caracole! Pharmacy student Griffin Hobbs kindly delivered the donations.

Items like soap, toothpaste and other daily essentials may seem simple, but they can have a real impact. Since SNAP benefits don’t cover personal care items, community drives like this help fill important gaps and make everyday life a little easier.
