We were overjoyed to receive an update from Kali! We are inspired by her non-linear recovery story, and also her mission to help other women affected by substance use, homelessness & incarceration. Read about the wonderful life she’s building for herself: ppponline.org/blog/kalis-upd…

Reminder! Tomorrow's location has been changed.

Thanks Penn LDI & Nancy Stedman for highlighting PPP’s mobile MOUD & overdose response bus! The importance of street medicine in Philadelphia can’t be overstated.

Extra sugar, extra creamer! A lot of us rely on a hot cup of coffee to start our day, and that goes for the folks PPP serves as well. Pouring someone a coffee is a way to welcome them into our space & start a convo about other services they might need. Coffee is harm reduction.

Womxn’s Night is on tonight! 5:30-8pm at our main building 2913-15 Kensington Ave 💕 Details below.

Every Saturday in April we're offering $150-250 in groceries for every surrendered firearm. All guns will be decommissioned on-site and turned into art by our friends Shane Claiborne and Jacob C. Hammes! Hit the link bit.ly/4aB4GUD to RSVP.

Another successful Prevention Point/Operation Save Our City Community Cleanup! On Saturday, Roz Pichardo and 11 fabulous volunteers got 100 syringes + countless loads of trash off the Kensington streets. They also distributed 20 doses of Narcan. Thanks to everyone who came out!

Thanks so much to John for sharing his story. It takes strength & wisdom to ask for help. We're proud of you for not giving up.
“If they did not help me, I wouldn’t be on this planet right now, and that’s the truth.” #sunshinestories

Womxn’s Night is on tonight! 5:30-8pm at our main building 2914-15 Kensington Ave 💕

Did you know that PPP has a post office? We currently operate mailboxes for 7,000+ people!
Folks facing housing insecurity need a secure place to receive important docs, benefits, letters & packages. Post Office Supervisor Miss Nancy greets each person with a smile & a kind word.

The City of Philadelphia has stated that the new administration will not fund syringe services, which could mean up to a $900,000 cut to Prevention Point’s budget. NOW is the time to support harm reduction in Philly. Thank you so much for your support. ppponline.org/donate

Read this wonderful op-ed from retired PDPH Director of HIV Services Coleman Terrell. Pulling funding from evidence-based public health programs like SSPs will lead to a reemergence of preventable medical conditions like HIV & hep C.
