We got some bad news, friends!
PPOP needs a new home by the end of the momth!
We need a new space for storage and meetings by June 1st!

We are looking for an opportunity to share space with similarly-aligned orgs, or (harm-reduction-friendly) commercial rentals, or space in a (cool) church, or... ?

Please let us know if you have any leads! Please share!

It was so beautiful out today!! We had a lovely time with all of our amazing participants 🥲🥲💗💗💗

Please help us move closer, and know that we never stop showing up for the people we serve, especially over the holidays! Thank you for all your love and support for PPOP!!

Our give guide page shows us at $6,300 but we are really at $9,300 since we made $3,000 at our Solidarity Soiree. Help us make it to $10,000 today! and win a library full of books in the process!
