Sackville United Church

“There are some who might argue that by providing space for a harm reduction vending machine, that we are somehow condoning the use of injectable opioids and other (illegal) drugs, that we should instead be supporting addiction treatment options, that we should ‘love the sinner but not the sin’. To such criticism I can only respond in this way: by providing harm reduction supplies, we meet a person in their lived experience and love them in that moment – so that we can love them again tomorrow when they might be in the space to make a difference choice.”
