SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA, USA, March 29, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — SwabTek® and national nonprofit organization, the “Voices for Awareness Foundation” (VFAF), announced a new partnership today. The collaborative effort looks to strengthen the impact that each organization can make in their efforts to eliminate the harms of fentanyl in local communities across the country. Among other efforts, the partnership will integrate SwabTek’s Fentanyl+ Detection Tests into VFAF’s “Opioid-Reversal Kit,” with the goal of providing a comprehensive toolkit for the prevention of fentanyl abuse and overdose in US schools.
VFAF is a nonprofit organization based in Grand Junction, Colorado, with a mission to promote public awareness of counterfeit drugs, illicit fentanyl, and self-harm. One of VFAF’s primary objectives is the deployment of their “Primary Prevention Education & Opioid-Reversal Kit” to schools through their Operation Facing Fentanyl initiative. The Kit provides prevention education materials and overdose-reversal medication in a single, contained unit, and is donated to schools through contributions made by donors in the community.
