We did a test your drugs training yesterday at our drop in center, and we are blown away by the response! We partnered with Lansing Syringe Access and trained 16 folks on why it’s important to test your drugs and how to do it.

The world of substance use continues to become scarier as substances are mixed, sometimes without the knowledge of the person using. Here at punks we just want to make sure our people live to see another day, because their lives matter, and we love all our nieghbor’s.

If you’re wondering about why in the world we do what we do, please reach out, we love doing trainings and having hard conversations: building a relationship with us is free!

Join us for a FREE community meal on Thursday, April 9th, from 12-2pm! We would love to see you!

We have expanded our office space! We are looking for donations to make our space more comfortable for community members to hangout. Our unhoused neighbors often have very few options for places to spend time during the day. Our drop-in office is a space for folks to come, have coffee, get a snack, and hopefully find some entertainment too.

If you'd like to make a monetary donation to support us purchasing any of the below items, you can make a donation here: https://donorbox.org/lansingsyringeaccess

New hours effective February 2nd!

Starting in February, we can deliver anywhere in Ingham County! Deliveries can be made via text at 517-258-2491. Reach out to us with any questions you may have.

We are hiring! Please see the available positions and interview scheduling options below:
