💜 Overdose Awareness Day 💜

Today, we remember the lives lost to overdose, stand with those affected, and remind our community that help, support, and resources are available.

The Heartwood Center has Narcan available on site, as well as testing strips, because having these resources on hand can save a life.

Stop by the Heartwood Center today to pick up Narcan and testing strips and participate in our Overdose Awareness Day activity. Whether you’ve been personally affected or simply want to show your support, everyone is welcome.

You never know when having Narcan nearby could make the difference. 💜

The Heartwood Center is incredibly grateful for the generosity of our community. Your donations help us provide comfort, dignity, and essential resources to those we serve every day.

A special thank you to:

💙 Bernadette Spain for donating coffee cups, coffee, and bottled water. These items are greatly appreciated, especially during this summer heat!
💙 Danielle Hess for her generous donation of men's clothing, women's clothing, queen-size sheets, and many other much-needed items that will directly benefit our guests.

💧 Bottled Water Donations Needed for The Heartwood Center 💧

With the extreme heat affecting our community, staying hydrated is not just about comfort, it's about survival.

For individuals experiencing homelessness, access to clean drinking water can be incredibly limited. Many spend hours outdoors, walking long distances, waiting for transportation, or simply trying to find a safe place to rest. During heatwaves, dehydration and heat-related illnesses become serious risks.

The Heartwood Center is asking our community to help by donating cases of bottled water. Every bottle makes a difference and helps ensure that those who come through our doors have access to something as basic—and as essential—as clean, cold water.

If you're able to donate, please consider dropping off bottled water at The Heartwood Center. Your kindness could help protect someone from the dangers of this extreme heat.

Thank you for supporting our neighbors and showing that our community cares. ❤️💧
