It's the first day of spring! That means we are gearing up to plant our community garden. This garden was originally funded by grants. This year, we need a little help to get started. Check out our wishlist: https://a.co/0iiGOqdk

The Lowe's gift cards help us purchase mulch and the plants. We purchase live plants as opposed to seeds so we can grow veggies as quickly as possible for our clients.

Happy International Women’s Day!

The theme for International Women's Day 2026 is 'Give to Gain’. The colors used for this significant day are purple, green, and white. Give to Gain highlights the power of reciprocity when individuals, organizations and communities invest in women. When women have access to health and rights, the benefits extend far beyond individuals- families are healthier, health systems are stronger, economies grow and societies become more just and sustainable.

We extend a huge thank you to ALL women who have pioneered the way for us- Marsha P. Johnson, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Shirley Chisholm, Rosa Parks, Maya Angelou, Nikki Giovanni, to name a few.

It’s a late post, but we aren’t letting the day go by without recognizing Black Balloon Day.
A day of remembrance. A day of awareness. And a day of love for the lives lost to the disease of addiction.
🖤 Who's life are you honoring today?

Black Balloon Day honors the sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, and friends whose lives were taken too soon. Each black balloon represents a life, a story, a human being who is missed by someone who loved them.

Addiction does not discriminate. It touches every community, every gender, every socioeconomic status.

Today we hold space for grief and remembrance. We continue the fight for recovery, and the advocacy for harm reduction programs, making sure more people get the chance to live.
If you have lost someone, we remember them with you today. 🖤
