Holiday CARES Packages
Joy comes with knowing how to stay safe and healthy.
Joy sounds like a patient hearing “your HIV is undetectable” for the first time.
Joy feels like being seen and treated with dignity.
For 40 years, Nashville CARES has stood beside our community with dignity, compassion, and whole-person support. More than 20,000 Middle Tennesseans count on us each year for testing, treatment, counseling, connection, food, and housing.
This giving season, what will you fund?
Help Someone Feel Seen and Supported
A $25 gift removes barriers so someone living with HIV can take part in a HealthyU peer group—covering simple needs like food or transportation. It opens the door to shared meals, honest conversations, and supportive friendships that replace stigma and isolation with a sense of belonging and hope.
Provide the Comfort of a Healing Meal
A $50 gift provides fresh, nourishing fruits and vegetables for someone living with HIV—offering warmth, strength, and a reminder that they are cared for and never alone.
Help Someone Find Their Way Back to Strength
A $75 gift covers someone's counseling session, offering gentle support to heal from trauma, rebuild emotional well-being, and discover the resilience that’s been within them all along.
Ensure Someone Has the Care They Deserve
A $100 gift provides four people with Adherence Kits—thoughtful tools like pill organizers, reminders, magnifiers, notebooks, and even a Telehealth-enabled phone for those who are unhoused. Each kit offers dignity, support, and the confidence to manage their health with hope and certainty.
Help Someone Begin Again with Dignity
A $250 gift provides a person or family recently experiencing homelessness with the essentials that turn a new house into a true home—cleaning supplies, kitchen basics, paper goods, and even a cell phone to stay connected to care and community. It’s a fresh start filled with comfort, dignity, and hope.
Offer a First Step Toward Healing and Hope
A $500 gift provides someone newly diagnosed with HIV their first medical appointment, lab work, and essential medications—opening the door to lifesaving care, steady support, and the promise of a healthier tomorrow.
Make Home Possible for the Holidays
A $1,000 gift provides a month of rental assistance for someone living with HIV—offering the steadiness of a safe home, the peace to breathe again, and the stable foundation needed to move toward healing and brighter days ahead.
Give in the way that feels right to you
Give at the level that brings you joy. Flexible gifts allow our team to apply your generosity where it is needed most, whether strengthening an existing care package or meeting urgent needs. Your gift gives CARES the ability to respond in real time, ensuring every dollar supports whole-person care when and where it matters most.
