The event also featured free haircuts and a fully stocked food pantry. Organizers say it is all about taking care of their neighbors.

"Each one of us help each one of us and we keep that going in. So we do this to meet the holistic needs of all people, not just your physical needs, but your mental needs, also your social needs and any other needs that you have," Keisha Howard said.

The group is expanding its services later this year. Safe Haven plans to launch a new mental health program soon.

You can find their drop-in center on North Collington Street.
