Port City Harm Reduction has been here every week, every day for our community’s most vulnerable neighbors.

From our drop-in Community Health Hub in Wilmington, we provide a safe, welcoming space where people can meet their basic needs and access life saving care. Each week, over 200 individuals walk through our doors for support; totaling nearly 800 people every month.

Inside our hub, community members can:

Take a hot shower and do laundry
Access clean clothing, hygiene supplies and wound care
Prepare a meal in a safe kitchen space
Access health care, linkage to treatment options & peer support with compassion- not judgement
Find connection, resources, and community

We also provide overdose prevention education, disease prevention resources, and life saving health supplies; ensuring people have what they need to stay alive and as healthy as possible.

💔 What’s at risk…

Right now, we are facing a critical funding gap that puts our Community Health Hub at risk.

We are working to raise $30,000 to keep our doors open and sustain essential operations through the remainder of this year.

Without this support:

Our Community Health Hub may be forced to close
Essential services like showers, laundry, and safe space could disappear
Our Perinatal & Family Wellness Program (which provides free birth and postpartum support to mothers and families impacted by substance use) may be paused indefinitely

This program is a lifeline for families navigating incredibly difficult circumstances; offering compassionate care, advocacy, Doula support, and stability during pregnancy and early parenthood.

🔹Where your support goes🔹

$30,000 = keeps our doors open for the next 6 months, supports our team, fuels outreach, and ensures life-saving care reaches hundreds each month

❤️ What we’re doing

We are actively working to secure additional funding through grants, partnerships, and other funding opportunities; but these processes take time, and the need is immediate.

We are incredibly grateful for the support this community has shown us over the years. This work has always been sustained by neighbors like you, and in this moment, that support matters more than ever.
