Call to Safety provides a comprehensive 24/7 crisis line, support groups, community outreach and education, and sexual assault medical advocacy. They can support crisis line callers in any language through their international language bank, and connect survivors to local culturally-specific resources or co-advocacy.

Call to Safety advocates provide every caller with a needs assessment, peer support, safety planning, crisis intervention, and information and referrals to community resources. Their advocates work with specific populations to provide culturally relevant and specialized services for survivors experiencing houselessness, survivors with developmental and intellectual disabilities, survivors that identify as LGBTQ+, and survivors that experience mental illness. All of their advocates are trained to support sex workers.

Call to Safety is an invaluable asset to our community, and we are honored to be able to give back to them for the tireless work that they do. Shop with us on any Wednesday in April to support them!

LGBTQ+ people experience many health problems at a disproportionately high rate. At the same time, queer people are less likely than straight people to have a regular healthcare provider. Prism responds to these injustices by providing LGBTQ+ people with a space where they can show up, be seen, and experience healing as their whole self.

Prism opened in 2017 as the only LGBTQ+ health center providing comprehensive primary care in Oregon (and, in fact, in the entire Pacific Northwest). One of Prism’s first patients was a 52-year-old woman who lived in Albany, Oregon. She had driven 70 miles to be seen at the health center in southeast Portland. From paperwork to provider, every aspect of her experience at Prism honored her whole identity. By the end of her visit, she was crying joyful tears, because for the first time in her life, she was out to her doctor and could be completely honest about who she was. Stories like this perfectly express what Prism Health is all about: giving the LGBTQ+ community, at last, the healthcare home it needs and deserves.

Shop with us on any Wednesday in January to help out this vital organization.
