Due to the popularity and need of this service,funding has opened up in two counties to support ongoing efforts to supply people with Narcan, hygiene kits,Condoms,socks and other kits in this modality in efforts addressing a person's social determinants of health.

Punks With Lunch (PWL) not only launched a Community Drug Checking Program but served over 10,000 people without missing a single day of scheduled service. PWL distributed at least 10,000 doses of naloxone and the community reported over 800 overdose reversals as a result.
