Did you know we partner with First Churches to provide a weekly breakfast for 100 of neighbors each Friday from 7-10.

Hampshire HOPE, Tapestry, and Northampton Department of Health and Human Services co-presented a poster "Engaging Lived Experience in Harm Reduction programming and Opioid settlement Fund Allocation Through Narrative Surveys" at the Together for Hope Conference hosted by Boston Medical Center's Grayken Center this past week.

In addition to sharing our process and initial findings from the 131 point-in-time interviews facilitated this past fall, it was great to be in community with and learn from many of our regional and statewide partners featured throughout the conference!
