Makin' It Happen provided and packed hundreds of N Makin' It Happen provided and packed hundreds of Naloxone Overdose Prevention Kits to the Manchester Health Department this week!

These life-saving kits are vital tools in preventing overdose deaths and connecting individuals to the resources they need. Harm reduction is a crucial part of prevention. 🫶

A HUGE thank you to the Manchester Health Department for partnering with us, the team at Constellations Energy for helping us put these kits together, and to the NH Department of Health and Human Services for providing the funding to make this possible!
