HOW?
This program is made possible through a grant partnership between Nevada County Public Health (NCPH) and IFM. Since IFM sees over 11,000 unique individuals per year coming through our food distribution events, we're a natural partner with the County to distribute free Naloxone, to both client families and volunteers alike. More information can be found here at the NCPH's Naloxone website.
