To celebrate, we asked our lodge staff: how many safer sex supplies do you think we’ve handed out from April 2025 to April 2026? Their guesses might surprise you 👀 Watch to see how close they got!
Four years of showing up for our community with a non-judgmental, sex-positive, trauma-informed approach.
Here’s to many more years of safer sex and harm reduction!🤍
