Indigenous Harm Reduction Winter Survival Fund 2023‼️ LINK IN BIO ☝️ Throughout the Fall and Winter months we operate Indigenous led night outreach where we provide survival supplies to individuals who has been displaced throughout the city on some of the coldest nights of the year. Our goal through this night outreach is to travel throughout the city to find the people who have fallen through the cracks and are in desperate need of survival supplies and support. In the winter in Toronto on any given night there are dozens of people who are turned away from full shelters and warming centres due to lack of capacity and find themselves in enclaves, street corners, grates and alleyways. Survival supplies that we distribute include tents, sleeping bags, gift cards, winter coats, tarps, warm boots, sweaters, long johns, gloves and hats, all rated for sub zero temperatures. The systemic burden that is placed on people in Toronto through bad public policy allows a continuous lack of capacity to shelter people and this will undoubtedly continue throughout the winter months. In winter of 2022 we went out on the coldest nights and distributed hundreds of winter supplies. We even had shelter staff reach out to us on numerous occasions requesting supplies for individuals who are turned away from warming centres in the middle of the night. We have created the winter outreach initiative as we see a critical need that is not being met on our traditional lands and territories. Your generous donations will go directly towards winter outreach, one of the only ones operating at this capacity in the city. Nakurmiik, Miigwech for sharing and donating if you have the means. 🙏🏽 #indigenousharmreduction #harmreductionissacred #communitysupport #truthandreconciliation
