Thrive For Change

Find us at Cleveland Pride this Saturday June 6th starting at 11am handing out free Narcan & Harm Reduction supplies! You’ll also find our team wandering around the crowd pulling wagons full of Narcan, make sure to stop us and say hi, & even snap a pic or two - we love the posts you tag us in!

📍Booth 3108 @ Mall B

We’ll be doing training on Narcan & test strips, and of course providing them for free in addition to other supplies like safer s*x kits. There are a range of ways that you can be safe as possible this Pride & beyond, we want you to be informed about it all!

Here’s some pictures from last years Soil & Suds event by A.I.D Plant Sale and Fundraiser This is a fundraiser plant sale & swap that supports a local non-profit, and this year is Thrive for Change!

There will be a lot to do, and is family friendly! You can bring a plant, pots, or garden tools you want to swap in the exchange. There’s great options for raffle baskets donated by local businesses to help fundraise for the cause.

We are truly to grateful to have this support from the community, thank you Katya & Lindsey for always thinking of us and keeping overdose prevention at the forefront. It’s a challenging time for a lot of us, and the need is greater than ever.

Today was a very eventful day! While we were prepping for outreach, we got a new visitor who saw our Tiktok and came to donate a huge box of shoes! It was perfect timing really because today is encampment outreach day, where we make visits to folks who can’t come to us so we go to them

While we were out at outreach, we stopped to clean up a few spots that needed some extra love. It was a beautiful day all around, we saw some of our regulars and followed up with others who we haven’t seen in a while. It’s such a gift to be able to do this work.

And yes, we’re on tiktok now! Go follow us over there too and help our page grow!

PS:) We could really use some more plastic grocery bag donations, poke your networks to see if they have any to spare

If you’ve been wanting to do Harm Reduction outreach with us here’s your chance!

We’re hosting a free training at Thrive For Change to help you learn the ins and outs of outreach. We’ll talk about everything from supplies to engaging with different types of people, and we’ll even be providing dinner.

This is gonna be a super busy summer season and the need is great for compassionate community outreach workers. There’s a lot of things happening and a lot of ground to cover, the harm reduction movement needs you!
