Our Mission
To provide non-judgmental services including syringe exchange, basic healthcare, education and counseling to the most vulnerable and hard-to-reach populations of Lancaster, York, and Dauphin Counties -- the homeless, the uninsured, the injection drug users and sex workers.
To offer safety measures for those who are at high risk of contracting or transmitting HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis, and other blood-borne diseases.
