Today is National Fentanyl Awareness Day. 🕊️

In Rochester, we’ve seen the devastating impact fentanyl has on our friends, families, and neighbors. At Hope Dealers BTC, we believe that education and compassion are the strongest tools we have to fight back.

Fentanyl doesn't discriminate, but neither does hope. As an all-volunteer organization, we are on the streets every week providing Narcan, education, and a Bridge to Change for those struggling with substance use disorder.

How you can help today:

1. Learn the Signs: Know what an overdose looks like.

2. Carry Narcan: It’s a life-saver that anyone can use.

3. Spread Hope: Share this post to let someone know they aren't alone.

Need help or resources? Call our Hopeline at 585-633-8690. 📞

Together, we can deal hope and save lives. 🧡

Sometimes, a bridge to change starts with a simple sandwich. 🥪✨
At Hope Dealers BTC, we are an all-volunteer organization. This means every single meal provided to our neighbors in Rochester is made possible by people like YOU. We are looking for compassionate individuals to help prepare lunches for our street outreach.
By giving just a few hours of your time, you are doing more than making a meal—you are dealing hope and offering dignity to those facing substance use disorder, mental health challenges, or poverty. We provide the supplies; you provide the heart! ❤️

🎉 As we welcome this New Year, let's extend our hands to those navigating recovery and dealing with substance-use disorder. 🎊

New Year's Eve often revolves around traditional drinking and drug consumption, and for those in recovery, this day may bring unique challenges.
🎆🌟
Let's unite to offer encouragement, empathy, and assistance to those on their recovery journey. Whether it's lending a compassionate ear, organizing sober gatherings, or simply being present for someone in need, every gesture matters.
🎆🌟
At the very least, we ask you to please make sure that you never bully, pressure, coerce, convince, bribe, or even overly encourage someone else to consume drugs or alcohol. This can happen inadvertently, even if you don't mean to. You may think that you're just trying to include them in the fun, when in reality, you may be testing them in ways they're not ready to withstand.
🎆🌟
If you're having a party, make sure that you offer non-alcoholic beverage options and have plenty of water on hand. Excessive drinking can lead to alcohol poisoning, but being well-hydrated can help reduce the risk of over-consumption.
🎆🌟
Let's make this New Year's Eve a time of reflection, growth, and renewed commitment to aiding one another. Together, we can foster an environment where everyone feels supported and empowered.

Wishing you a safe and meaningful New Year's Eve!
