🧺💜 Free Laundry Day Impact 💜🧺

We are grateful to have served 9 individuals at our recent Free Laundry Day! Together, we completed 17 wash cycles and 22 dryer cycles, helping lighten the load for members of our community.

We also distributed 2 boxes of Narcan, continuing our commitment to harm reduction and saving lives.

A special thank you to Grace United Methodist Church in Neoga for sponsoring this event and making it all possible!

Interested in sponsoring a future Laundry Day? We would love to partner with you!

💜 Free Narcan Available in Cumberland County 💜

Did you know community members can walk into any DOPP (Drug Overdose Prevention Program) site and take Narcan—no questions asked?

Narcan (naloxone) is a safe, easy-to-use medication that can reverse an opioid overdose and save a life.

📍 Multiple locations across Cumberland County offer access, making it easier than ever to be prepared and protect those around you.

Whether it’s for yourself, a loved one, or just to have on hand—you never know when it could make a difference.

Together, we are saving lives and building a stronger, safer community. 💪

🧠 National Drug & Alcohol Facts Week

💭 MYTH: 7OH is Kratom.
✅ FACT: 7OH (7-hydroxymitragynine) is a compound found in kratom that can produce opioid-like effects in higher doses.

Understanding what substances contain — and how they affect the brain — helps our community make informed decisions.

Education matters. Prevention matters. Recovery is possible. 💜

🚨 Did you know? Research shows that people who start using cannabis at a younger age have a higher risk of developing cannabis use disorder later in life.

In fact, about 3 in 10 people who use cannabis develop cannabis use disorder, and the risk is even higher for those who begin using during adolescence.

National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week is all about separating myths from facts and helping young people understand how substance use can affect their brain, health, and future.

🧠 National Drug & Alcohol Facts Week

💭 MYTH: Kratom is safe because it’s sold over the counter to individuals 18+.
✅ FACT: Kratom is not FDA regulated. Products can vary widely in potency and purity, increasing the risk of dependence, contamination, and adverse health effects.

“Legal” doesn’t always mean safe.

Stay informed. Ask questions. Protect your health. 💜
