As some of you may already know, Butler County Sheriff's office no longer offers Naloxone to our community—making Totalus the only local distribution site. In response to this, we are adding IM (intramuscular) Naloxone to the lineup of harm reduction products we offer.
Each IM Naloxone kit will come with 2 vials of Naloxone and 2 sterile syringes for administration and for the time being will be packaged in brown paper bags as it is important that IM Naloxone not be exposed to the sun.

IMPORTANT NOTE‼️
While we offer a limited amount of sharps containers and will be offering sterile syringes in these kits—we DO NOT offer a needle exchange program as that service is still illegal in most of the state of Pennsylvania, with exceptions only being made in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.
Our partners at PA Groundhogs are working tirelessly with our state representatives to transform this law to expand the legality of needle exchange programs to the rest of the state as well, and they are always looking for community support.

Please read this infograph for more information about IM Naloxone and feel free to ask any questions you may have! 😊

We are looking forward to connecting with more people and continuing to keep our community safer in 2026 🩵

ETA: The credit for the work to change the laws actually goes to Pennsylvania Harm Reduction Network - PAHRN. Contact your reps and tell them yes to HB 1245!

Harm reduction is about dignity, safety, and meeting people where they are. By prioritizing compassion over judgment, harm reduction saves lives and strengthens communities.

At Red Project, we are committed to evidence-based, person-centered care that supports people who use drugs, people living with HIV, and all those impacted by systemic barriers. Through education, advocacy, and direct services, we work to reduce harm, challenge stigma, and build a world where health and justice are accessible to all. Harm reduction isn’t just one thing - it’s a framework built on 8 essential pillars that create safer, healthier communities.

Harm reduction is for everyone. It’s not about approval or disapproval - it’s about meeting people where they are and making sure they stay alive, stay safe, and stay supported.

We are heartbroken over the devastating loss of so many community members who died or were killed while experiencing homelessness. Each of the people we've lost deserved safety, health care, a safe place to retreat to and lay their head at night, and their humanity to be honored.

This Homeless Persons' Memorial Day, we demand safety nets that prevent homelessness and care for people experiencing homelessness and its many impacts right now. Houseless folks are our neighbors and community members, and we must stand up alongside each other. Take action with our friends at the National Health Care for the Homeless Council: bit.ly/HUDActionAlert

This year marked the first time all 50 states took part in — and Pennsylvania’s strong turnout shows the dedication of local organizations, volunteers, and public health partners working to prevent overdose deaths every day.

Across the Commonwealth, more than 100 sites hosted naloxone distribution events — many supplied with doses funded through our Overdose Prevention Program.

The Pennsylvania Department of Health also supported the effort by designating six State Health Centers as official distribution points. Naloxone available through State Health Centers — and from year-round local partners — is also funded and supplied through our program.

Free naloxone (Narcan) is available year-round at State Health Centers and local partners across Pennsylvania. Learn more ⤵️

I have talked about this at every event I've done. Naloxone does not help these overdoses as it is only for the reversal of opioids, which is why rescue breaths are CRUCIAL with any administration of it during your response to a suspected overdose. People are consenting to doing drugs, but they're not consenting to this being in their drugs, and it can stop them from breathing. We have to keep them breathing to keep them alive—ALWAYS give rescue breaths when you are comfortable doing so. We do have a limited amount of CPR mask keychains available for $2 each, get yours today so you have the protection you need for yourself should the need ever arise. Be safe out there everyone 🫶🏼

Last night we supplied Totalus with 80 morning after pills because y'all have been clearing out my stock there faster than I can keep up! Our friends at Remedy Alliance supplied us with a small amount of pregnancy tests that will be available in the shop as well while supplies last!
