Our Community Is Our Mission
Face to Face is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the health and well-being of Sonoma County residents through essential health and support services. We offer free and confidential HIV testing, prevention education, harm reduction services, and housing support, with a commitment to dignity and non-judgmental care. Face to Face also emphasizes prevention through programs like PrEP education and syringe services, addressing the needs of those most at risk. With a focus on accessible care, we operate an eco-friendly mobile van to reach underserved populations and work to eliminate stigma, fostering a healthier, more informed community.
Sonoma County is Facing
Barriers to Care
Stigma & Disconnection
Substance use, overdose, and HIV rates in Sonoma County are disproportionately high, yet often overlooked. Many overdose deaths and HIV transmissions are preventable with access to life-saving tools like sterile syringes, medications, and testing with no judgement ever.
Our Work
Leading with Love
At Face to Face, showing up for our community is one part fierce
compassion and one part practical care.
Every day we open our doors (and our van!) to Sonoma County residents, especially those at risk for chronic disease or illness. Rooted in our longstanding work as a response to the AIDS crisis, we support with no judgment and make it easy for you to connect to what you need with a listening ear and warm heart.
Because when we lead with love, you don’t have to be alone in your quest to be as healthy as you can be, right now.
Our Impact
Find a Way
Compassion in Action
We’ve distributed thousands of doses of Naloxone through our mobile van, vending machines, events, and in-house services. By going directly to the community—wherever the need is—we provide life-saving tools and support to those at risk of overdose.
Fostering Community Connection
We have provided over 270 harm reduction trainings to local agencies in the last year, sharing our compassionate approach to care. Our partnerships allow for reciprocal services at both our community hub and their locations, building trust and ensuring clients receive tailored support.
Care Beyond Barriers
Every day, hundreds of clients receive compassionate, non-judgmental care, including housing assistance and health services. Our diverse staff meets the unique needs of marginalized populations, including those living with HIV, LGBTQ+ individuals, and monolingual Spanish speakers, ensuring everyone can access the care they need.
