Support front lines harm reduction services!
Direct donations to our program are used to support programs that we aren’t able to as easily secure state, federal, and private funding for. Despite over 50 years of evidence demonstrating that harm reduction is an effective public health intervention, harm reduction programs remain underfunded. It is estimated that harm reduction programs on average operate on 10% of the budget they need to maximize their impact.
Harm reduction programs vary in size, but all programs are under-funded. Every donation you make to our program goes directly to direct services: we do not use individual donations to support staff or rent: instead individual donations support our emergency programs and help us secure basic items for outreach and operations such as coffee, clothing, and food.
