FREE NARCAN in Honor of International Overdose Awareness Day 8/31/22
2022-08-31 16:00 - 18:00 | Suncoast Roofing, 9507 SR 54, Hudson, FL, 34669, United States
In honor of International Overdose Awareness Day, more than 600 doses of lifesaving Narcan will be given out at two locations in West Pasco County on Wednesday 8/31/22; and one location in Dade City on Thursday 9/1/22.
Overdose death is completely preventable! Thanks to Narcan, the brand name of Naloxone, an overdose does not have to be fatal. Naloxone is a non-prescription drug delivered via nasal spray that temporarily blocks the opiate receptors in the brain reversing an overdose for up to 90-minutes. This gives people time to call 911.
The Pasco County Alliance for Substance Addiction Prevention in partnership with Groups Recover Together, Suncoast Roofing, and Farmer’s Self Help will hand out free Narcan at three locations around Pasco County.
No registration required to pick up the lifesaving Narcan … no questions asked, no signature needed.
International Overdose Awareness Day is a global event held on August 31 each year and aims to raise awareness of overdose and reduce the stigma of drug-related death. #EndOverdose
Times and locations to pick up FREE NARCAN:
Location 1 – 8/31/22 – Groups Recover Together, 8224 Washington St, Port Richey, FL 34468 – 4-6 pm
Location 2 – 8/31/22 – Suncoast Roofing, 9507 SR 52, Hudson, 34669 – 4-6 pm

NOPE Candlelight Vigil
2022-11-17 17:00 - 20:00 | Pasco-Hernando State College, 10230 Ridge Rd., New Port Richey, FL 34654, 10230 Ridge Road, New Port Richey, FL, 34654, United States
Pasco ASAP & PHSC Partner for Candlelight Vigil honoring those lost to Overdose
The annual NOPE, Narcotics Overdose Prevention and Education, Candlelight Vigil is back in person after two years presenting virtually. This year we have a very special event – Pasco Hernando State College – as part of their 50th Anniversary #ItTakesUs Social Justice Series – has partnered with Pasco ASAP to bring in athlete, author, and advocate Randy Grimes.
Join us for this FREE event Thursday, November 17, 2022 from 5 to 8 pm to hear his story of redemption and hope. Please honor your loved ones by bringing a photo of those that have passed to place on our NOPE Memorial wall.
A former NFL player whose career spanned 10 years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Randy Grimes used prescription pills to treat his career-related injuries. Those pills fed an addiction that would last more than 20 years. Upon retiring from the NFL, Randy fell deeper into his addiction—eventually jeopardizing his family and risking everything. “In football, I always had a playbook—and a team—to get me through the day,” states Randy. “Without that structure, I didn’t know what to do; I lost myself, and my addiction took over.” After losing a former teammate to an overdose, Randy finally had the courage to raise his hand and ask for help. “I literally crawled into treatment,” states Randy. “The tools I found there saved my life. I prayed that God would open the gates of heaven and let me in. Instead, He opened the gates of hell and let me out!”
Please join us as we remember those we have lost to overdose and learn about recovery efforts here in Pasco County. FREE event Thursday, November 17, 2022 from 5-6pm Vendors; 6-7:30pm speakers; 7:30-8 pm candlelight vigil, Pasco Hernando State College West Campus Auditorium, 10230 Ridge Road, New Port Richey FL 34654.
The PHSC 50th Anniversary, celebrated from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023, showcases the College’s unique history, programs of study, faculty, staff, students, and alumni as well as community partnerships. Anniversary initiatives illustrate PHSC’s quality value and share our significant educational, cultural and economic impact on the region. Pasco Hernando State College www.phsc.edu
