Free Narcan & training
Anyone can learn to reverse an overdose.
Free kits, free training, no questions asked — in Flagler County since 2019.
What we do
Narcan (naloxone) is a nasal spray that reverses an opioid overdose. It is safe, it is simple, and it does nothing at all if the person turns out not to be overdosing. Using it takes about as long as reading this paragraph.
In 2019 the Foundation became the first local nonprofit to secure a grant from the Florida Department of Children and Families to provide Narcan at no cost to people who need it. We have been handing out kits ever since.
Who we have trained
- The Flagler County Health Department
- The Flagler County Tax Collector's office
- School district staff — the first program of its kind in the state
- Families, community groups, and anyone who asks

Next training class
[NEXT CLASS DATE]
[CLIENT MUST SUPPLY] We need:
- Date and start time
- Venue name and street address
- Roughly how long the session runs
- Whether registration is required or people can walk in
If classes run on a regular schedule (say, first Friday monthly), tell us that instead and we will publish the pattern so this never goes stale.
Request a training
We will come to your workplace, church, civic club, or neighbourhood group and run a session. There is no charge, and participants leave with a kit.
Sessions run about twenty minutes for the basics — recognising an overdose, administering the spray, calling 911, and staying until help arrives.

What to do in an overdose
This is general public guidance, not medical advice. If you are in doubt, call 911 first.
-
Call 911
Do this first. Florida's Good Samaritan law protects people who call for help during an overdose from certain drug-possession charges — calling is the right move even if there are substances present.
-
Give Narcan
Spray one dose into one nostril. If there is no response after two to three minutes, give a second dose in the other nostril.
-
Keep them breathing
Follow the dispatcher's instructions. If the person is breathing on their own but unresponsive, lay them on their side so they cannot choke.
-
Stay until help arrives
Narcan wears off before many opioids do, so an overdose can return. The person needs to be seen by paramedics regardless of how well they seem to recover.
Where to get a free kit
Find us at community events around Flagler County, or get in touch and we will arrange one. Kits are free, and we do not ask why you want one.
Fund the kits
Every kit we give away was paid for by someone local.
Grants come and go. Community giving is what keeps a supply on the table between grant cycles — which is exactly when people tend to need one.
[CLIENT — COST PER KIT] Once you tell us what one two-dose kit costs the Foundation, this block becomes the single most compelling sentence on the page: “$X puts one kit in someone's hands.” Please send that number.
