Goal
Help us raise initial funding to support our “grass-roots” team of volunteers to fund our initial startup of front-end Harm Reduction mobile services within our highly rural County of El Dorado, California.
The Sierra Harm Reduction Coalition is the only team in our community that is working to offer fully comprehensive non-judgmental and compassionate services for our drug using public. We are are now a real organization ready to provide our services to reach all those struggling with substance abuse life issues.
Our mission is to provide a suite of Harm Reduction services aimed to improve the quality of life of our drug using community by reducing the consequences of drug use, and to that end helping our county as a whole. We believe and respect the rights and feelings of our family who use drugs. To do this we wish to provide free of charge “where they’re at” drug and disease minimization services using mobile vans.
We offer are syringe and disposal services, supplies/kits, Narcan/naloxone distribution, HIV/HEP-A/B/C and STD testing and prevention services, condom distribution, safe use and overdose prevention education and general/substance abuse counseling. We also partner with our Public Health and community-based organizations so that we can offer referrals and follow-ups for continuity of care services.
We ask that you donate to us to help with our startup and admin costs. The money will go towards our mobile van support, Harm Reduction Supplies, website/insurance costs, and 501(c)(3) fees. Thank you for helping us help those in need.
