I worked with the first harm reduction program in Tulsa called S.H.O.T.S. Stop Harm On Tulsa Streets. My title was Street Outreach Liaison, I go out through out the week tending to the needs of people in various stages of substance use and other harmful behavior handing out clean supplies, condoms, Narcan, and other things people experiencing homelessness might need. I have done some volunteer work at the Iron Gate, and the Oklahoma Harm Reduction Alliance (OKHRA)

Every Christmas I also make up gift bags filled with hygiene, clothing items, and food. I then go out on Christmas Day and hand them out to people experiencing homelessness. This last Christmas we expand this to backpacks that people could use year-round
