School's back in session, and so is Stepping On Up's Monthly Education Series! From 9-11am on the first Thursdays of each month, Trinity Lutheran and Stepping On Up hosts a free presentation (along with an free optional breakfast at 8:30am) about experiences and education surrounding at-risk communities.

This month, Grace Jesch, Education and Engagement Coordinator at Safe Haven Shelter and Resource Center, will be speaking on how community members can recognize signs of domestic violence and learn how to best support and empower survivors in both big and small ways that can truly make a difference. Attendees will better understand the scope and impact of domestic violence in our communities, ways to support someone who is experiencing abuse, and resources available for survivors.

"I chose this project because it stood out to me as something that could really help the community and help the people in the Safe Bay program."

Guests utilizing Safe Bay now have that much more privacy because of Eagle Scout candidate Axel and his team. The group worked more than 350 hours to make the fence a reality for folks looking for a quiet, restful night of sleep in their vehicles.

Thank you, Axel and team, for making the fence a reality and for providing more privacy and dignity to those seeking rest! 🌙💤

Chum will be tabling this Saturday at Harm Reduction Sisters' Overdose Awareness Day event! There will be food, live music and entertainment, games, local resources, and an overdose vigil.

Why is overdose awareness needed? Every day, anywhere from 190 to 220 people die daily in the United States from a drug overdose.

See you on Saturday, August 29th, from 4-8pm in Lincoln Park!
