KENTUCKY HARM REDUCTION COALITION
The Johnny Squire Foundation made a donation to the Kentucky Harm Reduction Coalition for the purchase of Narcan (naloxone) kits. Narcan nasal spray counteracts the life-threatening effects of opioid overdose. The KYHRC offers the kit for free at its training sessions. If you are using opiates or know someone who is using, it is critical to have a Narcan kit available.

ALI FORNEY CENTER
On January 12, 2017, in remembrance of Johnny, we were privileged to visit and meet with one of the co-founders, staff, and volunteers of the Ali Forney Center (AFC) in NYC. The AFC is the nation's largest community center for homeless LGBT youth. Johnny was fortunate to have the love and support of family and friends, however, some LGBT youth are not so lucky. The AFC provides tremendous support for homeless LGBT youth, including helping those who struggle with substance abuse. We are proud to support this program with a donation and we look forward to partnering with the Ali Forney Center in the future.
