Community Drop-In Clinic: Support Without Judgment

Every Wednesday | 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM

At the Harm Reduction Committee, we believe that everyone deserves access to care with dignity and respect. Guided by the principles of justice and human rights, our mission is to meet people where they are—without judgment, coercion, or discrimination.

We’re proud to host a weekly Community Drop-In Event that brings these values to life. Everyone who comes will receive services the same day—no one is turned away.
