Support Care Packages for OnPoint NYC Participants

I’m Sophie, a licensed massage therapist in NYC. For the past 2 years I have volunteered my services once a week at the Holistic’s Room in Harlem’s “OnPoint NYC” Facility. Our Holistic Department offers free services for stress relief and well-being. Every week a team of practitioners volunteer their skills: massage/bodywork, acupuncture and Reiki to Participants in our community, totally free of charge. OnPoint NYC is a “Harm Reduction” Facility. Providing free wellness, medical and social services to anyone who walks in the door. Without judgement or criticism. This is a multi-faceted space, with many teams working together to care for the community by preventing overdoses, supplying personal care products and teaching people that they are valued. Harm Reduction reminds people that they have choices in life, and that they are valued without any discrimination of their choices. It is our hope that our Participants gain integrity and self-empowerment here. Though Harm Reduction is not the sole path for everyone who is struggling, it is a powerful concept to broaden your thoughts around healing.

This holiday season I would like to raise $1200 to provide our Participants a small gift - a care package with items that support stress relief and self care.

Items in care packages:

•Dr. Bronners Soap

•Lavender Aromatherapy Mist

•Cinnamon Spice Tea

•Tissue Packet

•1 Pair of Warm Socks

•Soothing Hand Cream

Any left over funds will be donated to our Supply Costs in the Holistics Room at OnPoint NYC. Things like Acupuncture Needles, White Noise Machines, Paper Towels and Cleaning Products.

Harm Reduction Facilites are at the lowest tier of government funding and survive immensely on private donations.

Please help us continue to offer this unique care to our community.
