How This Initiative Strengthened Our Community:


  • Increased Access & Awareness – Dispensing 4,960 boxes in one year has emphasized the ongoing need for harm reduction and overdose prevention resources.


  • Expanded Partnerships & Outreach – The success of this initiative has encouraged collaboration between local organizations, health agencies, and advocacy groups to expand naloxone availability.


  • A Model for Future Efforts – This vending machine has become a blueprint for similar projects, proving that harm reduction works when communities come together.


As we mark one year of impact, we celebrate the power of coalition-building and the life-saving impact of accessible naloxone.


Together, we continue to make a difference—one box at a time.
