While we appreciate the love and support, donations must never be left outdoors at any time. Donations are gratefully accepted *inside* the basement door on Wednesdays and Saturdays between 11am and 1pm. Items left outdoors are subject to damage by the elements, pests, rodents, and cats and quickly litter the lot. All of it must be immediately placed in the trash, creating waste and never making it to its intended target. Please help us help others by abiding by our donation policies.

As we begin to awake to cool mornings with a lingering chill in the air, our clothing ministry volunteers are hard at work on the seasonal inventory switch-a-roo. Can you help us stock these specific core essentials in the weeks ahead? We are especially in need of men's jeans/sweatpants and boxer briefs in all sizes for our unhoused participants. Thank you!

On this International Overdose Awareness Day we pray especially for all beloved children of the most holy One whose lives were lost to overdose. We remember them and honor their memory, wholeness, and holiness.

We also pray for:

Families and friends who have lost dear ones to the insidious disease of substance use disorder (SUD)

Those currently suffering from the grips of SUD, especially our unsheltered siblings existing on the fringes of our society

Children being raised by grandparents and other family members

Recovery warriors as well as newcomers beginning their journey

Those who have stumbled in their recovery

Outreach workers, harm reduction advocates, and first responders

Families, neighborhoods, and communities torn apart by the ravages and indignities associated with addiction

Staff members and leaders of treatment centers, recovery houses, clubhouses, and fellowships

Politicians, policy makers, and others in a position to champion urgent and meaningful change

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2nd Annual Frankford Overdose Awareness Event. πŸ’œ

From the march and candle lit service to the resource tables, activities, conversations, and moments of poetry & reflection, everyone came together to create a space where lives were honored and no one grieves or heals alone. The evening was all at once an inward and outward expression of solidarity, compassion, remembrance, and hope.

This year, 4 additional banners with 231 additional photos were carried during the march. As our friends from Socks for the Streets reminded us: every photo on the banners represent a real person. Their lives and stories still matter. They will always be loved, remembered, and carried in the hearts of those who knew them.

Thank you to everyone who helped us honor their memories and stand together in compassion and hope. πŸ’œ
