Operation Save Skid Row is a nationwide Narcan initiative starting in Skid Row, Los Angeles. We aim to provide life-saving Narcan and essential training to homeless populations, focusing on homeless veterans and underserved communities. Join us in fighting the opioid crisis and promoting wellness.
Your support directly helps distribute Narcan, a life-saving tool that can reverse opioid overdoses and prevent needless deaths in high-risk communities.
By funding Narcan training, you equip individuals with the knowledge to act in critical moments, creating a safer, more resilient community.
Many homeless veterans and underserved individuals are disproportionately affected by the opioid crisis. Your contribution provides them with vital resources and hope for recovery.
