Street Outreach Offerings

Available

Monday & Friday

11:00am - 4:00pm

Our outreach teams walk the streets surrounding our center, covering the area from 27th Street to 6th Street, including National Avenue, Greenfield Avenue, Lincoln Avenue, and Mitchell Street.

 

We meet women where they are, offering practical support and opportunities to connect with resources. Outreach includes:


• Bagged lunches and food.

• Seasonal items such as hand warmers, rain ponchos, and popsicles.

• Harm reduction supplies and education.

• A resource sheet with local support options and the National Human Trafficking Hotline number.

 

Individual appointments are also available for women seeking one-on-one support, encouragement, and help navigating their individual needs and circumstances. Monthly peer support group meetings provide opportunities to connect with others, share experiences, and explore topics such as coping skills, harm reduction, trauma, and addiction recovery. Topics will vary each month.

 

Whether at our Drop-In Center or out in the community, our goal is to meet immediate needs, build relationships, and remind every woman that she is seen, valued, and worthy of hope.
