Mobile Needle Exchange
Provides clean needles and harm reduction supplies to people in the community to help reduce the spread of HIV, HCV and other illnesses. The program also promotes safer drug-use habits through referrals to health care, detox, treatment and other community services.
Services include picking up used needles from housing projects, emptying the city needle boxes in the Downtown Eastside, and collecting discarded needles from streets, alleys, and parks. A hotline is also available for delivery of harm reduction materials to anyone within the Vancouver city limits.
