STREET OUTREACH

Since 2014, we’ve been meeting women on their terms through street outreach. 


As a survivor-led organization, we know firsthand how difficult it can be to access basic hygiene items and the uncertainty of not knowing where our next meal might come from while on the street. We believe that all women should have access to basic hygiene items, regardless of their situation.


Every Sunday, volunteers ride along with a trained driver to hand out hygiene bags, meals, and clothing to women on Sullivant Ave and in the Linden area.
