There is a lot of movement happening here at Shift! We are excited to announce that August will bring many new and exciting changes!
First and foremost, we have moved! We are now located upstairs to our previous space with our own drop in and meeting space! This is to provide a place for the Shift program. Our new space is a place where clients can drop in for snacks & coffee, meet with the Shift staff, gather for a workshop or simply relax. The computer, laundry, complementary therapies and other downstairs services will still be open to Shift clients as well. Stop by to check it out!
Secondly, Shift will begin to be open late on Thursday nights until 8:30pm. This is to ensure that we are accessible to those people who might not be available during daytime office hours. During our new later hours we will have our regular phone, appointment and drop in services available. We will also hold occasional meetings and events. Evening hours will begin today, Thursday, August 4th.
Thirdly, a Shift calendar has been developed! This is a monthly calendar that outlines the programs and services Shift offers and highlights upcoming events for that month. People can pick up a hard copy from the Shift office, or if requested we will email you a copy. This calendar will be available for the month of August.
Lastly, Shift has resumed its “walking outreach”. This is when Shift staff head out to the strolls to give water, snacks, safer sex supplies, Shift material and other essentials to working individuals. Shift will head out weekly one evening a week.
If you are interested in connecting with Shift and receiving those outreach supplies, or have any other questions or comments, please feel free to connect with us!
