Building Prevention and Safety Kits with Victory Programs

Victory Programs has helped individuals and families in crisis for 50 years. Some 5,250 people turn to us yearly for shelter, sustenance, recovery, care, and professional, compassionate support. The individuals and families we serve across our 25 programs are unhoused or precariously housed, most of whom struggle with substance use, have mental health concerns, and/or live with chronic health issues like HIV/AIDS. 

Volunteers will work with the Victory Programs' prevention team. This team provides a wide array of prevention-based services for our members with the goal of offering them the tools and resources to improve their health, acquire housing, and work towards a happier and healthier future. 

The kits that volunteers assemble can include Narcan kits, first-aid kits, safer-injection kits, and others. The materials you pack in these kits can be life-saving, help prevent the spread of infectious diseases, and give our members the tools they need to take control of their health and safety.
