Give Today. Help Forever.

We invite you on this Giving Tuesday to be part of our mission as we work to save lives in The Bronx and New York City.

Our work is centered on humanity – Mothers, sisters, fathers, brothers, uncles, aunts, friends, colleagues, and neighbors, who in moments of vulnerability are often socially discredited and vilified. SACHR has proudly stood with the vulnerable, providing quality health services that have saved lives for thirty five years. With your support and dedication, we will continue our service in community.

We welcome you to join us in our mission of harm reduction. Your gift will go a long way to providing meals, therapy, clean syringes, and other critical resources to the community we serve. We thank you for becoming a force for improving the safety and quality of life of our participants.

SACHR is beyond proud to have strong leaders like Attorney General Letitia James at the Office of the New York State Attorney General to stand up for what’s right.

Full quote from SACHR’s Founder and President Joyce Rivera:

“Indivior, the manufacturer behind the harm-inducing drug Opvee, bears responsibility for fueling the opioid crisis alongside Purdue and other corporations. Now, they have shifted their marketing and training strategies to skirt accountability by bypassing our State Department of Health to lure unsuspecting municipalities to use their product in overdose prevention programs,” said Joyce Rivera, Founder and President of St. Ann’s Corner of Harm Reduction.

“Let’s be clear: efforts to reduce drug overdoses must be based on science and not dictated by corporate interests or market trends. The illicit drug supply is in constant flux with varying amounts of opioids, stimulants, sedatives, and inert additives. True, sustainable overdose prevention services center harm reduction and are built on community-driven solutions shaped by the wisdom and lived experience of those most affected, not by the companies that helped create the crisis in the first place.”

Expanding our mobile health services with innovation and compassion.

The SACHR Mobile Health Innovation Unit is a state of the art mobile health clinic which integrates medical care, holistic health services, and harm reduction services with a continuum of health and human services which focus on the needs of the entire person.

This mobile unit will provide trauma-informed, culturally competent care, in participant-based languages
to build community trust and increase utilization and long-term care rates.
