Drop-in Services are available to anyone that enters our facility. All services are provided free-of-charge. There are no requirements or referrals needed to access our services. When you enter our facility, a staff member will greet you at the Welcome Desk just inside the front doors. There, you will complete a wellness check and be offered a clean mask if you do not have your own. Once you are checked in, you may enter our Commons Area and use any of our services listed below. Many of our services are available through our Service Desk, located in the center of our Commons Area. Staff are available to answer questions and help you to obtain services.
