Hello friends and contributors of Don't Forget the Streets!
We've had a huge year of success and firsts. This year we've grown our donation pool significantly, tabled more events and continued to grow the number of supplies we distribute.
Here is a breakdown of supplies distributed from June to December. Safe Injection Kits: 97 (970 syringes) Safer Smoking Kits: 476 Narcan: 34 Fentanyl & Tranq test Kits: 64 (many more distributed via tabling events which were not logged) Meals: 1,067 Clothing: 468 (socks, hats, gloves, scarves)
We've also grown our team. If you are interested in volunteering with us, please join our discord channel. https://discord.gg/YYGnmADJ
In 2024 we plan to continue growing the outreach operation and expanding the events we table. We also have some new fundraising ideas, so stay tuned to our Open Collective updates and Instagram.
Special shoutout to our most active team members: - Callie Richards - Joe Nelson - Ron Ready - Cookie Hagendorf - Owen Deutsch - Matt Smith - Eric
We also have to shout out Jessie Lipper, who organized 2 benefit shows this summer for us, raising $2000!
Thank You all so much for your support in serving the streets of NYC with harm reduction services.
