💛 What a fun day in the kitchen! 🍽️

Huge shoutout to our amazing volunteers and Evansville Community Kitchen for such a productive day filled with healthy ingredients, teamwork, and lots of love! We made 8 trays of enchiladas and one BIG chocolate cake today! 🌮🍫🎂

Evansville is so lucky to have a community kitchen where people can come together, lend a hand, share their time, and make a difference in the lives of others. ❤️ It’s pretty special to be part of a community that shows up for one another!

So grateful for everyone who pitched in & made today a success. It takes a village, and Evansville has some pretty awesome people in it! 🥰

💚 Repost from the Drug Policy Alliance because this is a message worth sharing.

Good drug policy means caring about people, keeping our communities safe, and making sure everyone has access to resources that can save lives. From harm reduction to recovery support, compassion makes a difference.

Let’s continue to show up for one another and remind people that help, support, and understanding matter. 💚

What does public safety actually mean?

As municipal elections approach, ask candidates how their policies will improve access to housing, healthcare, harm reduction, treatment and basic services.

Safer communities are built through dignity, support and evidence.

Save this post to help guide your conversations with municipal candidates.

“We talk a lot about stigma. But where does it actually come from?”

A 2026 study published in the International Journal of Drug Policy looked at everyday discrimination experienced by people seeking or receiving support for substance use — as well as the caregivers supporting them.

The findings are worth thinking about:
- 52.5% of people seeking or receiving support reported that their own substance use was a reason they experienced discrimination.
- 40.7% of caregivers reported that their caregiving role was a reason they experienced discrimination.
- Family and friends were the most commonly reported sources of discrimination among both groups.

And the impact matters. The researchers found that greater experiences of everyday discrimination were associated with poorer wellbeing among both people receiving support and caregivers.

This doesn't mean that families and friends don't care.

It means stigma can show up in places we don't always expect — including within our closest relationships.

Sometimes it's a comment.
Sometimes it's an assumption.
Sometimes it's being left out.
Sometimes it's the belief that someone will never change.

Recovery already comes with enough barriers. The people around us shouldn't have to be another one.

We can choose different language.
We can listen without judgment.
We can support someone who is asking for help.

And we can remember that recovery is a process — not a label.

What would it look like if asking for help was met with support instead of shame?

It's extra busy around Patchwork this morning! We're open while a few others in the community are closed. We have coffee, snacks, showers, information, phone use, health advocacy, a place to rest, over-the-counter health supplies, and more. However, our food pantry is closed today (Oct 12) for the holiday.

Harm reduction is not about giving up hope. It’s about keeping people alive, building trust, creating connections, and opening the door to positive change. Recovery looks different for everyone, and every step toward safety, health, and well-being matters. ❤️

People deserve compassion, not judgment. Connection, not isolation. Support, not stigma. 🌻

Real support starts with seeing our homeless neighbors as community, not problems.

Community donations help us provide food, clothing, hygiene supplies, shelter, and other basic needs. Thank you Michelle Neighbors for your impactful donation of Hothands, ponchos, and tents as folks waiting on housing begin to prepare for winter.

Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, dignity, to have access to safer, healthier conditions without judgment.

When we give, listen, and support people in ways that preserve their independence and dignity, we help build a community where our neighbors aren’t simply surviving, they have a real opportunity to move forward.

Small acts of support matter. Compassion matters. And treating people like people matters most. ❤️
