The evolution of overdose response and community-based safety resources has led to a significant, sustained decline in U.S. opioid-related deaths.
Here we've compiled some of the trends and treatment options over the last 60 years.

A lot of us want to help when we see someone who is unhoused, but in the moment we do not always know what to give.

We are putting together care bags for folks to keep in their cars and hand out when they see someone in need.

Each bag has first aid, snacks, hand warmers, wet wipes, sunscreen, and hygiene items.

Suggested donation is $10 to $20.

This is an easy way to be ready to help instead of feeling stuck or looking away.

Come by our office and grab a few
809 Center st, Lansing
Open Mon-Fri 12-5 & Wednesday we stay open until 8!

Just a highlight from street outreach today.

We do need you 💜

We got Harm ReDUCKtion over here at punks.

Have you heard of our food rescue held at our drop-in center every Friday at 10 a.m.?
We receive a donation from a local grocer every week and give it to our community members.
We never have an idea of how much food will be donated, but our goal is always to distribute it all.
We are located at 809 Center st.

Thank you, and enjoy the weekend! ❤️

It is crucial to have proper supplies for HRT injections, so we are now offering Hormone Injection Kits!
We offer sub-q and intramuscular options, as well as sharps containers for safe disposal. Stop by the drop-in center, or text or call 517-657-1959 to schedule a delivery. 🤩

You’ve probably heard that the opioid overdose crisis is a public health emergency in the United States. But have you ever wondered how we ended up here? Here’s some of the history behind opioids, their entry to the U.S., and the evolution and dependence of these substances.

We have had a busyyyy week over at Punks!

Two of our staff went and presented at the MI Peers conference, all of our staff is learning at the Harm Reduction conference, and we got to see the shiny placard for the newest Michigans Peer of the Year which is one of our BA team members, Todd Fowler!
