Frequently Asked Questions

    • Do I need to provide any personal information to access supplies?

We ask for some basic information, such as your birthdate, drug of choice, and gender identity. This helps us tailor our services to better meet the needs of the community. Rest assured, all information is collected anonymously, is never used to identify anyone, and remains completely confidential. We are committed to protecting your privacy and would never share this information or comply with subpoenas to release it. Your safety and trust are our top priorities.
