Basic Needs

We assist with essential resources like food and clothing, and help to stabilize housing arrangements.

We foster accountability and community-wide transformation by providing interconnected resources that lead to long-term violence prevention.

What to expect when you arrive:

You will be greeted by a person who will listen to you, help assess your safety,  ask questions, and share information with you about what choices you can make now and what to expect from the resource providers.

Depending on the situation, we will work to make sure that you can find the right support immediately, or as soon as possible, and coordinate assistance at and through our location.

After your initial conversation and support, we will contact you again in a few days and a few weeks to hear how you’re doing and explore what’s next. 

Our team will do all they can to listen, understand, mobilize care, and ensure everyone who walks through our doors feels seen, respected, and empowered and resourced to take the next brave step.
