Save a Life Day is a nationwide day of action that promotoes year-round widespread naloxone access as one solution to the overdose crisis.
Each year, on the fourth Thursday of September, communities across the U.S. set up tables, train neighbors, and give away free naloxone.
What began as a small West Virginia pilot has grown into the country’s largest annual day of free naloxone distribution.
In 2025 alone, communities distributed around 133,000 doses in a single day.
