Overdose Aid Kits with Narcan Now Installed in BINCC for the community.

The boxes include opioid overdose-reversal medication naloxone and are now offered at the Community Center. You can read the entire story here at the Fond du Lac Reporter.

The placement in the BINCC is due to a partnership among several local agencies fighting against fentanyl and helping prevent overdose deaths; Narcan is now more accessible in Fond du Lac.

Nonprofit organization Clinton Foundation collaborated with ADVOCAP, the Fond du Lac County Health Department, Holy Family Warming Shelter, and local parents affected by overdose to install Overdose Aid Kits (O.A.K.s) throughout the community.

The metal O.A.K. boxes include opioid overdose-reversal medication naloxone — commonly known under the brand name Narcan — as well as other resources.

Anyone can get naloxone inside free of charge with no questions asked, whether to use it in an emergency or to keep on hand.

Where can I find them in Fond du Lac?
