🎉 September 25, 2025 – Free Naloxone Day Goes Nationwide! 🎉
For the first time ever, all 50 states are joining forces for a fully national Free Naloxone Day — a life-saving initiative to combat the opioid crisis.
🚑 In 2024, over 650 events across 35 states helped distribute more than 84,000 doses of naloxone. This year, we’re going even bigger — and Fayette County is proud to be part of it!
📍 Local Event Spotlight:
Stop by the Fayette County Health Center Building on Thursday, September 25th between 12 PM and 5 PM to pick up free naloxone in the front lobby. No registration required — just come by and help make a difference.
💥 Together, we can save lives.
Join the movement. Spread the word. Be the change.
