Resident Doctors at Institute for Family Health helps make fentanyl and xylazine test kits

Resident Doctors at the Institute for Family Health visited our LES Harm Reduction Center to assemble kits to test drugs for xylazine and fentanyl. These kits all contain sterile water, cookers, the test strips, and instructions for use. We distribute almost 1,000 such kits every month, and they save lives. We thank the Resident Doctors at Institute for Family Health! 

Volunteers make kits at LESHRC

On Saturday, August 8, a group of volunteers came to our Lower East Side Harm Reduction Center to make fentanyl and xylazine test kits, Narcan kits, and safer sex kits. They made so many kits that we ran out of supplies and couldn’t make any more. Thank you, team Alana.
