#FaceHomelessness 2/2
The Bridge Services retweeted
People who experience homelessness often won’t accept food and other donations from people they don’t know and trust. They’re careful because it can be risky. This is one reason to route donations through organizations that are already known and trusted. #FaceHomelessness 🧵1/2

If you use drugs stop guessing and start checking to learn what's in your drugs ✅

Big news indeed. We need to finish construction and hire the care team - but once all is in order we will provide the level of service to the Okanagan to which we’ve always aspired. We’re closing the gap …
This is very big news! Yesterday’s announcement will effectively double the availability of Withdrawal Management Services to individuals in the #Okanagan. Wait times will be significantly reduced, if not eliminated. #substanceuse
