Our beloved Terror Van was stolen last night!

You’ve probably seen us driving around town doing outreach or picking up donations.

We would love any and all help finding it!

It’s a Ford Transit with two PWL logos spray painted on the sides and a beautiful mural that reads, “never without naloxone”

License plate number is 26707H3

Our Winter Care Village is just a couple weeks away! We're excited to work alongside so many vendors helping to provide free services to our neighbors. Join us at Grove Shafter park between 11am and 4pm on Saturday, December 13th.

Shoutout to for making our flyer once again!

[ID, Slide 1: Flyer with graphics and text throughout. Large text in the center says ""Let's go, Oakland! Time to get yours at the Winter Care Village. Everything is free for everyone! Saturday, December 13th, 11am - 4pm. Grove Shafter Park (MLK & 36th)." Around the edges of the flyer are black and white graphics and white text. The text corresponds with each graphic and includes  "Art making, legal assistance, family support & friendly community," "good warm food," "manicures," "massage, yoga, & acupuncture," "drug testing, syringes, pipes, & safer use supplies," "professional barber services & haircuts," "bike repair," "pet food, grooming, & vaccines," "Santa Claus!!! with toys for young kids,*" "hygiene supplies," and "warm fashionable clothes." There's also an asterisk at the bottom with the note "*one toy per child, child must be present to receive toy, first come, first served."

Slide 2: A flyer with a white background and black text. The text fills most of the page and is broken into sections. Starting at the top, the text says "Location: Grove Shafter Park is at the intersection of 36th Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Way. It is across the street from Eli's bar and about 4 blocks south of MacArthur Bart Station.

Accessibility: The care village will take place on the cement basketball courts, which are surrounded by grassy lawn. The courts are level with the sidewalk, no stairs to the courts. The park is an off leash dog park. Tables, chairs, and canopies will be provided for vendors and there will be a communal seating area for anyone to eat and rest at.

Noise Level: We will be outside, near a freeway, and vehicles occasionally drive by playing loud music.

Weather: Check forecasts and be prepared for outdoor Bay Area winter conditions including rain and cold.]
