Kit-making
sessions
At least two times a
month, Prevention Works! holds a session to assemble kits
of the various materials that are
distributed to participants on the outreach unit.
These sessions are held from 6 - 8 pm at the Prevention
Works! office at 1816 14th Street, NW. For upcoming dates
for these sessions, please see the news link. The various
kits we assemble include the following condom
kits, female condom kits, and smoker's
kits. We also make participant cards and schedules for
distribution. Most volunteers are able to stay for the
full two hours however, anyone is welcome to come in for
as long as they can stay. The more the merrier!
To participate, contact Ron Daniels.
