Our founder Alexis Pleus had the opportunity to share her story on Grieving Out Loud and how it became Truth Pharm’s mission to pursue equity, access, and community well-being. By researching the disbursement of settlement funds, she learned how unsupported community organizations and individual families are, even when they’re the ones that need it most.

Truth Pharm had a blast hosting the this past Friday!

Through United Way of Broome County we welcomed a couple of volunteers to our office to help pack Narcan, harm reduction, and feminine hygine kits. We also folded hundreds (!!) of zines that will be available at our tabling events! We were also joined by our Social Care Navigator (and amazing saxophone player) for a live performance.

Thank you to everyone who came by to contribute to our cause. We appreciate each and every one of you!

Last week, we held our monthly Community Art Hours, and we had a blast!

Along with fellow community members, we made and decorated affirmation jars. Now, each morning, we'll start our day on a good note - literally!

If you'd like to participate in the next Community Art Hour, come by on June 30th! Let us know if there is a specific craft you'd like us to try!

As always, this program could not have happened without the support from a project grant from the Broome County Arts Council’s United Cultural Fund!

With the increase in conversation on houselessness advocacy, we'd like to highlight the importance of everyday community member efforts and the real change we can make.

Houselessness is not a moral failure, its a community issue that affects real people, families, and futures. We have included some options for our elected officials to improve conditions for those in need, and truly battle houselessness

Advocate for those in need by calling your representatives. Every effort matters.

The first time I learned this, I was blown away. If we can just keep people alive long enough. ❤️

Research shows that many people eventually leave addiction behind without formal treatment, a phenomenon called “natural recovery” or “ageing out.”

That doesn’t minimize the seriousness of addiction. It simply reminds us that recovery pathways are diverse, and that connection, stability, relationships, and life changes can play a powerful role in helping people heal.
