a community effort rooted in compassion, and support.
Narcan distribution and Education in Sacramento
At Begin Again Recovery, we provide free Narcan (naloxone) kits and education to individuals and communities affected by opioid use.
Narcan is a life-saving medication that can reverse an opioid overdose in minutes. By making it accessible to those most at risk — including unhoused individuals, people in active addiction, and their loved ones — we empower the community to save lives before emergency services arrive.
Hygiene, Food & Essentials for Sacramento’s Unhoused
Begin Again Recovery, meets people where they are — with dignity, compassion, and the supplies they need to survive another day.
We provide hygiene kits, food, and basic essentials to individuals experiencing homelessness and instability. Each kit is thoughtfully packed with practical items that support health, comfort, and personal care — especially for those living outside or in transition
Clothing & Harm Reduction Supplies
At Begin Again Recovery, we provide clean, weather-appropriate clothing and harm reduction supplies to people living unhoused or actively struggling with addiction. Our goal is not only to reduce immediate harm, but to restore dignity, safety, and self-worth. We provide things such as :
•Gently used clothing: jackets, sweatshirts, jeans, socks, and shoes. Harm reduction items: condoms, safe use kits, sharp containers, and Narcan
- Resources for referral or follow-up support when individuals are ready.
These services prevents exposure-related illness and injury. The services also reduces infection, disease, transmission, and unsafe use.
