Earlier this week, Safe Homes youth had a wonderful time visiting, cleaning, and stocking Woo Fridges!!! We met a couple of the organizers at the fridges to learn more about the important work and care that goes into them. Thank you to our neighbors at for all that you do, and for teaching us about community care and mutual aid. We can't wait to return in the future for more visits and upkeep!
At Safe Homes, one of our top priorities is feeding our youth. You will never leave our drop-in hungry, and we have a food pantry filled with shelf-stable, diverse food options! To reach out with any questions or needs, email us at [email protected].
