Portland Recovery Community Center

Most people picture an overdose happening somewhere public. Most of the time, it doesn't.

Today is National Naloxone Awareness Day.

At Portland Recovery Community Center, we put naloxone in the hands of the people we serve, we know what can happen if someone returns to use after a period of stopping. Often they will be alone if the worst happens. A box in a hallway downtown won't help someone at 2 a.m. in their own kitchen.

The progress is real. Overdose deaths fell to roughly 70,000 in 2025, down about 14%, and wider naloxone access is part of the reason why. While the decline in overdose deaths is encouraging, nearly 70,000 deaths is still a crisis. The last thing we should do is let positive trends become an excuse to reduce the investments that are helping save lives

If you live in Maine, take five minutes today to call or email your state legislators. Tell them that take-home naloxone saves lives and that community organizations need stable funding to keep it available where people actually use it.

Naloxone buys time. Funding decides whether that time leads anywhere.

We Need Your Help ❤️
We cannot do it without our community and your support. Help us meet our goal before June 30th.

This is so much more than numbers, it’s about people.

PRCC affects individuals and families across Maine by providing free recovery support services that save lives and create lasting change, including for volunteers like Lorik.

Your support helps us:
• Provide free recovery support groups and peer coaching
• Train and support recovery coaches across Maine
• Keep recovery services accessible to anyone who needs them
• Strengthen recovery communities statewide through the Maine Recovery Hub

If PRCC has ever impacted you, your family, or your community, we ask you to consider making a gift today. Every dollar matters.
Imagine if all 4,000 active members gave $1, that is $4000; $10 and we would raise $40,000 in no time at all!

Together, we can ensure recovery remains visible, accessible, and supported in Maine.

A new month means a new opportunity to celebrate one of our incredible volunteers!

PRCC's June Volunteer of the Month is **Anna**, and we could not be more excited to recognize her dedication, compassion, and service.

PRCC could not operate without the support of our amazing volunteers, and Anna is a shining example of what it means to put recovery and service into action. Thank you, Anna, for all you do to support our mission and strengthen our community!

As Anna mentions, for many of our volunteers, PRCC is a vital resource in both their personal recovery and professional development. Many individuals begin volunteering while in early recovery, and the experience helps them build confidence, develop new skills, and create pathways toward stable and meaningful careers, whether at PRCC or elsewhere in the community.

As we celebrate volunteers like Anna, we are reminded of the impact that community support makes possible. If you are able, please consider making a small tax-deductible donation to support PRCC's programs and services. We have set an ambitious goal of raising **$60,000 by the end of June** to help ensure we finish the year on solid financial footing and avoid ending the year with a deficit.

Every gift, no matter the size, helps us continue providing recovery support, volunteer opportunities, and hope to those who need it most.
