Join us for an in-person gathering where we’ll help you personalize your emergency go bag and emergency plans to fit your unique needs. Bring your emergency go bag and your plan, and we will have people help you complete or revise them.
Together, we’ll cover essential items and practical tips to ensure you feel ready, prepared, and empowered for any situation. We will also have a table where people can express their feelings and emotions through art and doodling. Or you can even hang out for some good old-fashioned social connection!
The second event is:

Upstream Access is all about coming together to connect, create, and build. Join us for a day of social connection, collective creativity, and meaningful conversations as we assemble mental health and comfort emergency kits. Whether you want to craft a kit to take home or are simply curious, this gathering offers a unique blend of care, community, and fun, all centered around a shared project that brings comfort and peace of mind in more ways than one!
We will have a home-cooked meal from MilkCrateKitchen provided at both events.
Please share these events with others who would like to attend or volunteer.
We hope to see you at one or both of the events.
