Help End the Overdose Crisis in WV

Since COVID-19, SOAR WV has distributed over 35,000 naloxone doses across Charleston, Kanawha, and beyond. We’re still just getting started.

SOAR's sustaining donors help to keep up the work on multiple fronts in the country’s overdose capitol. You help power monthly mutual aid fairs, monthly syringe clean-up events, and annual Save a Life Days.

In between all that: the SOAR team (largely a band of volunteers, with committed part-time staff) are always looking for creative ways to challenge stigma and save lives. In 2023 and 2024, SOAR helped to plant FOUR 24/7 free naloxone boxes across Charleston--inspiring a wave of new vending boxes throughout WV and the US.

In 2023, SOAR was thrilled to support the first-ever Appalachian Save a Life Day. All across Appalachia (all 13 states), folks gave out over 45,000 naloxone doses. In 2024: SOAR coordinated partners in 35 states for "Save a Life Day East" who together hosted over 650 free naloxone events.

All kinds of donations are incredibly welcome. If you are considering a larger one-time donation, please consider making a smaller monthly one. This way we can count on your support over the longer haul.

We believe in this work, and we believe in our people. Thank you for your support!

We are currently in the midst of applying to become a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. However, we are currently fiscally sponsored by a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. So if you require a tax-deduction receipt, please let us know. We would be happy to provide one .
