Virginia Harm Reduction Coalition
The Virginia Harm Reduction Coalition (VHRC) is a nonprofit, peer-run organization dedicated to improving the health of individuals who use drugs by providing harm-reduction services and advocating for evidence-based solutions. Their mission focuses on addressing health inequities, offering safe-use supplies, education, and social services to support marginalized populations in the Roanoke area.
In 2024, VHRC distributed over 19,600 doses of naloxone and successfully reversed nearly 1,500 overdoses, reflecting a growing community reliance on their services. The Coalition also prioritized safe syringe disposal, collecting over 161,000 used syringes, which underscores the increasing need for harm-reduction initiatives in the region.
