Tomorrow G.R.O.U.P Ministries outreach team will be onsite at 1333 Jefferson Ave. We will be passing out harm reduction supplies, grilling and having open conversations with anyone who comes by to commemorate the lives lost and the impact of 5/14.

Here’s some more pictures from Easter Outreach! Our outreach team was able to connect directly with some members of our community:

In the first slide Reggie noticed a woman struggling getting across the busy intersection at Main & Utica streets and was able to lend her an arm making sure she got where she needed to go!

&

A gentleman approached our team and wanted to gain some knowledge and learn about what we we do, so Eric was able to give him the recent statistics we have regarding the decrease in fentanyl overdoses in Erie County, and also explained to him that what we’re doing is making an impact on those numbers.

We were incredibly honored to be out there with the community giving back the best way we know how on such a beautiful holiday! We were also able to hand out quite a few care packages and Narcan along the way!

If you or anyone you know is in need of Narcan or Narcan training please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at 716-259-8030.

💜

As the weekend ends, here's a reflection of our time spent on Easter break with our youth workers. They participated in harm reduction outreach gaining knowledge on the dangers of substance use and the impact harm reduction has on our community. It was amazing seeing them come together in unity for their community.

Happy Easter from our family to yours.

He will rise again.
