We were out in the community this Saturday for outreach in Amsterdam! 💙

We spent the afternoon at Centro Civico, a Division of Ibero connecting with folks, sharing resources, and making sure our community knows we’re here for them. We had some great conversations and met some amazing people.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by—and to Centro Civico for hosting us!

Still smiling from such a beautiful day yesterday 💛🌸

Our Spring Social was full of connection, laughter, and community; exactly what it was meant to be. From egg hunts and games to shared resources and support, it was so special to see families come together in a space built just for them.

A special shoutout to Ashley, our Harm Reduction Specialist, who led this event, bringing the vision to life and helping make the day so meaningful for everyone who attended.

Thank you to Hope & Healing Recovery Community Center, Stewart’s Shops, and Queensbury Barbers for your generosity and partnership in making this day possible.
