A Western New York non-profit is distributing Narcan at two locations on Sunday to help combat opioid overdoses during the pandemic.
Western New York Mobile Overdose Prevention Services Inc. will have people distributing Narcan at the intersection of East Utica Street and Main Street, as well as in the Broadway and Fillmore area around noon on Sunday.
The group’s “Mobile OPS on the Block” campaign runs until September 16 and aims to distribute Narcan, an emergency medication used during an overdose, in different Buffalo neighborhoods.
Mobile OPS will also be distributing hand sanitizer, face masks, condoms, and snacks/beverages.
