Goals:

• Assist the Kitsap History Museum in creating building markers for 12 historic sites in Downtown Bremerton. Markers will include a QR code for participants to learn about the history of the building.
• Create a map with an engaging activity card (Bingo, cross word, etc.) to be completed at each of the 12 sites.
• Partner with local businesses for discounts on family-friendly products and services in exchange for completed activity board.
• Facilitate a community kick-off event to raise awareness.

Benefit to the community:

• · Provides a sustainable, free activity for families to spend quality time together outside,
• · Creates on opportunity to engage with local businesses,
• · Sparks curiosity to learn about the past and enrich our future.

Purpose: Naloxone is an essential life saving device that empowers individuals, families, first responders, and communities to combat the growing epidemic of opioid overdose deaths. With the ability to quickly reverse the effects of an opioid overdose, naloxone has become an indispensable tool in the fight against this public health crisis. By making naloxone readily available to those who need it most, we can save countless lives and make our communities safer and healthier. Within the next nine months, our group aims to significantly increase access to free Naloxone nasal spray to treat opioid overdoses, educate community members on how to administer Naloxone, advertise the location of free Naloxone distribution boxes across the County, and maintain a steady supply to organizations hosting boxes on their property.

Description: Establish, supply, educate, and disseminate.

• Establish additional locations of Naloxone public access distribution boxes throughout the community. Potential locations include: St. Vincent De Paul, Coffee Oasis, Bainbridge Island Helpline House, fire and police departments, and Kitsap Regional Library.
• Supply Naloxone nasal spray boxes to each location through the State of WA Dept of Health Naloxone Program. Our team will assist groups to apply to the State of Washington nasal spray kit distribution program for their Naloxone supply.
• Educate and train staff members at each distribution box location about Naloxone and overdose response instructions by connecting them to Kitsap Public Health trainers. Our team will also create a custom-generated Quick Response Code (QRC) linking to the Washington Department of Health’s instructions on how to request Naloxone or become a community distributor.
• Disseminate the locations, QRC, and FAQ sheet to the community through platforms such as community partner websites, word of mouth, and social media and Naloxone locator website.
