“I don't know what I'm gonna do.”

Thank you CHLY 101.7 FM for taking the time to chat with the staff and guests at the Drop-In Hub. With the Hub being forced to soon close its doors at the end of the month, the hundreds of people, like Henry, who rely on those services are being left with very few options.

You can listen/read the interview on CHLYs website
