Intricate Minds is a grassroots community center working hard to fill the gap between public health service and our community. Their mission is to reduce the stigma related to mental health, HIV, drug use, and identifying as LGBTQ. Some of the services they offer are: free haircuts, Warm Meal Wednesdays, public computer access, harm reduction supplies, period products, and Covid and HIV Testing. We will be providing “breakfast for lunch” and will feed about 60 people.
