Many agencies can say that they are in the business of saving lives and I assure you that JOLT actually is saving lives! My husband and I are living proof! If you want your money to go toward compassion, kindness, understanding, love, and literally saving lives I would strongly suggest donating to JOLT Harm Reduction! The staff and volunteers of JOLT loved my husband and I until we could learn to love ourselves and that is the most beautiful gift anyone could ever give people like us,

I believe that access to harm reduction education and resources is essential to the community. Without it there would be so many deaths due to overdose. JOLT SAVES LIVES.

JOLT and its workers are the real deal. It was a no-brainer for my family and me to make when we made the decision to give to this AMAZING, local organization Their evidence-based approach to harm reduction instantly caught the attention of my scientific brain. I love that they treat people as people instead of projects. I love that they are a safe space for members of the LGBTQIA+ community as well. It is a sacred honor to financially support JOLT each month and I hope you will join me in supporting this wonderful organization.
