Fragrance-free Policy

Please help us maintain a space that is as scent-free as possible for members of our community who become sick when exposed to chemical fragrances.  If you are coming to work at the LOVE Building or to attend an event, please avoid using shampoo, cologne, detergent, fabric softener, etc. that is scented. Read more from Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha about why going scent-free is an act of love for disabled communities.
