In the face of a growing opioid crisis, it's more important than ever for communities to come together and arm themselves with the tools and knowledge needed to save lives. That's why All My Girlies has launched an initiative to distribute free Narcan (naloxone) kits. Narcan is a life-saving medication that can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose within minutes. Through this post, we'll explore how our program works, share success stories, and explain how you can get involved.
Why Narcan?
Narcan (naloxone) is an opioid antagonist used to counter the effects of opioid overdose, especially in cases of heroin or prescription opioid abuse. It's safe, easy to administer, and can be a crucial tool in preventing overdose deaths. By providing free Narcan kits, we aim to increase the accessibility of this vital medication in our community.
How to Get a Free Narcan Kit
All My Girlies has made it simple for everyone in our community to obtain a free Narcan kit:
- Visit Our Locations: Stop by any of our designated distribution centers listed on our website.
- Community Events: Join us at local community events where we provide free training and distribution of Narcan kits.
- Online Request: Fill out a form on our website to have a kit mailed directly to you, free of charge.
Training and Education
Understanding how to use Narcan correctly is just as important as having it on hand. We offer free training sessions that cover:
- How to identify signs of an opioid overdose
- Step-by-step instructions on administering Narcan

These sessions are available both in-person at our events and online through our webinar series.
