Tuesdays: 1 pm – 3 pm

Wednesdays: 9 am – 12 pm

Thursdays: 4:30 – 6:30 pm

Please click the link provided below during the posted drop-in hours. The SDS staff host will admit you from the “waiting room” as soon as the staff member is available and the previous visitor has left.

This virtual drop-in space is only staffed during posted hours or by arrangement (text to request). If you go to the link at another time, you will be in the “waiting room” but no one will be available to meet with you.

Brief questions can be answered “live” during our virtual drop-in hours.
