Peer Support=Saved Lives Save Lives

Save A Life Day is the country’s largest annual free naloxone day – it grows bigger every year!

The goal is to distribute as much Narcan/Overdose Prevention Supplies as possible to the people who need it the most while building a grassroots movement to end the overdose crisis. Have it and not need it vs. Need it and not have it.

Naloxone distribution sites are usually in the form of pop-up events at locations such as: busy intersections, dollar stores, gas stations/convenience stores, recovery/harm redux orgs, government offices, health departments, hospitals, local businesses, parks, churches, libraries, shelters, and more. Many counties also choose to implement outreach teams. Most events also distribute harm redux/recovery resources, anti-stigma swag, fentanyl/xylazine test strips, etc.

Sync Recovery Community and River Lotus Recovery are the Pennsylvania hosts of Save A Life Day and provide support for county organizers including Narcan and drug checking strips, monthly planning meetings, and one-on-one support. In addition to monthly multistate planning meetings, SOAR WV provides a care package including anti-stigma swag, an organizing guide, media graphics, designs for materials, sample press releases, and more!
