As regulations were passed to increase access to naloxone in Rhode Island, the opioid overdose reversal drug, we struggled with where best to store the kits. Then someone said “how about a box on a wall? Like an AED or fire extinguisher”.

And here we are. A box on a wall. 

NaloxBox is a community-based solution to a nationwide epidemic. Our state has been devastated by the number of overdose deaths so through collaborations and lessons learned we took action. 

As a nonprofit endeavor, we have partnered with other community programs that provide services to the under-served including the homeless population, those actively using drugs and those working toward recovery from substance use disorder. 

When you order a NaloxBox or 10, Ravenn processes the order. Parris at Amos House receives notification and Chris assembles and readies the order for shipment.  At Riverzedge Arts  “the other” Chris and his team design graphics and materials that make our product easy to recognize and optically pleasing. 

Our NaloxBox collaborators across the country are organizations and communities that have realized that a box on a wall can send a powerful message. A message that we care, we are here and we are willing to help.

Thank you for working to increase access, reduce stigma and save lives one box at a time.
