In 2024 we distributed 67,231 doses of naloxone.

We are the largest distributor of the life-saving medication naloxone in the Kansas City area. Almost all of the naloxone we distribute goes directly into the hands of people who use drugs, who are most likely to be present at an overdose.

We are five ordinary people without formal public health training or education, who came to this work because of our personal relationships to substances and the people who use them. We believe in developing programs that are low-barrier, compassionate, and drug user-centered and always strive to meet our participants with love and respect.

We operated out of a basement for two years before moving to our very own office space. In early 2023, we brought on our first paid staff. We now have five part-time staff members, a warehouse and office space, and an outreach van, all supported by community donations and grants from places like AIDS United, The National Council for Mental Well-Being, NACCHO, the AIDS Service Foundation, NASTAD, the Comer Family Foundation, Remedy Alliance/For the People, and the Addiction Science team at MIMH.
