Yes, it's a lot. I also ran the drop-in centre for about seven years. I just gave up the position late last year.
The drop-in centre is where everybody comes in to get a healthy meal and a sense of community. You really can't discount the sense of community, because when you're stigmatized the way that sex workers are in our society, you feel awful out in the real world and you don't feel that you have a community or a family or people that you can be yourself around.
At the drop-in centre we have harm-reduction supplies, such as clean needles and condoms and such, and a healthy meal. We do advocacy and have a jumping-off point for all of our other programming. We do housing support and health support. We have a nurse who comes in. We do art classes, which everybody loves, loves, loves [Technical difficulty—Editor].
