Our Mission

High Hopes Harm Reduction Project is a nonprofit organization dedicated to minimizing and mitigating the negative consequences of drug use. Through education, tools, and unconditional support, we aim to meet people where they are, bridging the gap and going above and beyond to reduce harm. This is a space to share our journey, showcase the services we offer, and highlight the unique approach that sets us apart in the field of harm reduction.

 

Our Approach

At High Hopes Harm Reduction, we believe in compassion, understanding, and evidence-based practices. Harm reduction is not about condoning or encouraging substance use—it’s about saving lives, promoting safety, and reducing stigma. Our approach includes:

• Meeting People Where They Are: We provide support without judgment, recognizing that every person’s journey is different.

• Education and Empowerment: We offer resources and information to help individuals make safer, more informed decisions.

• Collaboration: By partnering with local organizations, businesses, and community members, we extend our reach and impact.​​

 

Our Services

High Hopes Harm Reduction currently provides:

• Overdose Prevention Kits: Including Narcan (naloxone), CPR shields, antiseptic wipes, and more.

• Fentanyl Test Strips: Helping individuals test substances for the presence of fentanyl.

• Educational Resources: Guides and tips for safer use practices, overdose prevention, and harm reduction techniques.

We’re also working to expand our services to include:

• Needle and syringe programs

• Peer support groups

• Opioid agonist therapy (e.g., methadone and buprenorphine)

• Drug checking tools (e.g., reagent test kits)

• Housing and legal assistance

 

Our Values

• Compassion: We believe every person deserves care and support, no matter where they are in their journey.

• Safety First: Our priority is saving lives and reducing harm through practical, evidence-based tools and practices.

• Collaboration: We work with community partners to amplify our efforts and create lasting change.

• Unconditional Support: We recognize that not everyone is ready or able to quit, and that’s okay. Our goal is to reduce harm and empower individuals in their choices.
