We are excited to share that we have received a grant from CaroMont Health Foundation! The grant will be used to create kits with stickers, a face shield, naloxone, fentanyl test strips, and other materials in a discreet pouch. We will distribute the kits at health fairs and other community events.
Thank you, CaroMont Health Foundation! We look forward to continuing to provide Gaston County with potentially life-saving supplies.
The safe parking program is full as of July 27, 2026. There is now a waiting list to participate in the program.
Please complete the application and you will be added to the waitlist. We will contact you if a spot is available and you meet the criteria. We cannot guarantee spot availability or a timeline for when spots will become available.
