Narcan Initiative
This year, in an effort to combat both fatal and non-fatal drug overdoses in Allen County, the Alliance has partnered with Capt. Kevin Hunter of the FWPD, Narcotics Division, to identify hot spots around Fort Wayne that have a need for Narcan boxes. Through grants obtained by Overdose Lifeline in Indianapolis, the Alliance orders kits and refills these boxes on a weekly basis. There are currently 6 boxes (10-12 kits per box) and one vending machine (350 kits) around the city, that we oversee. These free kits contain a nasal Narcan dose, fentanyl testing strips, and information to get drug addiction help. If you are interested in volunteering
to help make or deliver kits, please sign up here.
