DESCRIPTION:Modesto Needle Exchange - A Street based service for Harm 
 Reduction\n\nModesto Needle Exchange is made of an autonomous group of 
 folks directed at attacking disease spread to \nthe community through 
 sharing of needles/syringes. We provide anything from Free needles/syringes 
 to Free condoms. \nBy facing the facts of reality, that heroin, 
 methamphetamine, & other narcotic use through intravenous injection isn't 
 going away or hasn't declined by the words "Just Say No" slogans of the 
 1980's or LA Police Chief's Daryl Gates DARE programs of the 1990's & 
 knowing the Drug War is a farce, we are able to take the steps necessary in 
 combating this plague on our loved ones, communities, & brothers/sisters. 
 The County of Stanislaus Board of Supervisors & City of Modesto Officials 
 say we are just "spreading addiction". We beg to differ & while they sit 
 back & complain, we are actually providing a safe street service with a 
 mission. \n\nPUBLIC HEALTH, NOT PROFITS! \n\nList of Free materials 
 distributed by Modesto Needle Exchange:\n*Tourniquets (street term - Ties) 
 \n*Cotton Balls in (regular & pellet form)\n*Cookers\n*Alcohol 
 Swabs\n*Needles/Syringes (different varieties)\n*Sterile Water 
 Packets\n\n\nConfidentiality: \nMNE does not talk about others outside the 
 program (meaning; when clients {needle/syringe users} come to make an 
 exchange, shit talk, gossip, or any other rumors or language that alienates 
 others will not be tolerated & anyone doing so, will be asked politely to 
 leave). \nMNE doesn’t judge ones autonomous decision making.  \n\n
