What an unexpected "gem" I found. I had no idea that they offered so many wonderful services to our community.
As the name implies, they are focused on harm reduction. They have a safe needle disposal and will dispense clean needles and supplies (such as cookers, needles, crack pipes, screens) to those in need.
They also offer education to those who need it and to the community about disposing of a found needle and safe sex.
Darlene is there to provide new, clean supplies and condoms and lube to those who need it, no questions asked.
This is a safe, confidential place with caring, educated and respectful staff. They will direct clients to services needed within the community and advocate for services when necessary. They offer clean supplies, disposal, counsel, help and direction and a respectful shoulder if needed.
Safe spaces is a program for youth LGBTQ that is partnered with the ymca. tuesdays at the ymca 7-9pm. You can call and talk to Sarah (director of this program) anytime.
Bridgette is in charge of volunteer services if you are interested in donating of your time or skills. They also welcome donations of snacks and treats to give out.
This place has so much more to offer than I could have imagined. They are open 8:30-4:30 Monday -Friday and summer 8:00-3:30.
