NightReach
NightReach is a mobile outreach initiative that operates in Red Deer’s downtown, city parks and river valley areas. A team
of two walk the streets and paths 365 evenings a year with backpacks full of harm reduction materials, seasonal clothing, first aid supplies and the occasional food donation. We provide non-judgemental support and referrals for food, housing, health care, addictions, pregnancy, legal issues, employment, bad dates and counselling to many street involved individuals. We are out from 6 pm – 10:30 pm weekdays and 4 pm – 10 pm weekends and holidays and can be reached via text or phone call at (403) 896-3879.
The Red Deer Advocate created a video about NightReach in March 2012 and you can watch it here.
