DROP INN CENTER RECOVERY PROGRAM FOR MEN »
The Drop Inn Center is a homeless shelter in Over-the-Rhine, working to provide essential services to people experiencing homelessness, and to empower people to move from homelessness to housing. Men of the InkTank Drop Inn Center recovery program meet every Thursday afternoon to use writing to reflect on the relationships, hardships, joys, and sorrows of life in order to strengthen the participant's relationship to himself and his past--a key step in recovery.

INKTANK PUBLICATIONS
At InkTank we believe it's important to provide writers an audience for their words. We place work in existing print and on-line periodicals such as StreetVibes and Queen City Forum as well as develop original collections such as the Freedom Center Project, essays written by local high school students.

TEXTURES
Right at the heart of everything we do at InkTank is the need to pull stories from hidden corners of our city and then shout them from the rooftops. A story isn’t complete until it’s shared. TEXTURES, our low-cost, high octane zine is one way we share the stories we collect. TEXTURES is made possible by the generous support of the Murray & Agnes Seasongood Good Government Foundation. Get your copy of for only $5 at InkTank's Book Bank, and at Shake It Records in Northside.
