YEAR 2 PROJECT NARRATIVE
2.1.3 Prevent overdose deaths and other harms (harm reduction)
ACTIVITIES/DELIVERABLES
We will work to prevent overdose deaths and other harms through the expansion of a drug-checking
program. Drug checking will allow participants to identify adulterants, like fentanyl, in their drugs and
change their behavior to prevent overdoses. We are requesting funding to purchase harm reduction
supplies (ex. drug testing kits, safe sex supplies, opioid reversal medication, etc.) over the next year.
Shot in the Dark plans to continue to expand secondary distribution of supplies to reach community
members who do not have access to resources. Secondary distribution will occur with smaller street
organizations and participants who have access to underserved populations, such as those who live in
unhoused communities. Secondary distribution of supplies allows Shot in the Dark to meet the needs of
those who may be physically unable to travel to or attend weekly physical sites and those who may not
feel comfortable or safe attending the weekly sites. At this time, approximately 5 percent of participants
who receive safe-use supplies through Shot in the Dark sites engage in secondary distribution by
collecting harm-reduction supplies for one or more other people.
2.1.4 Support connections to care and warm hand-off services
ACTIVITIES/DELIVERABLES
Shot in the Dark currently provides referrals to care via a text line. Approximately 200
participants use this text line yearly. Shot in the Dark would like to better provide resources to services
through the re-development of their website and an enhanced “resources” page. A new brand identity and
website for Shot in the Dark hold immense potential to advance the organization’s mission. This initiative
is poised to significantly enhance the organization’s visibility, credibility, and communication channels.
With a refreshed brand identity and a user-friendly website, Shot in the Dark can better engage with our
target audience and stakeholders, providing accessible information about services, resources, and
advocacy efforts. Moreover, the website can serve as a centralized hub for educational materials, harm
reduction strategies, and support services, empowering individuals and organizations to address the
needs of marginalized communities more effectively. By fostering community building and providing
avenues for fundraising and support, the new website and brand identity will play a vital role in amplifying
our organization’s impact and advancing its mission of promoting solidarity and health equity in Maricopa
County.

Additionally, Shot in the Dark will introduce opportunities for advanced volunteer training through The
Trauma Institute to improve the quality of services provided to participants. As an entirely volunteer-run
organization, Shot in the Dark is committed to providing education to our volunteers and ensuring that we
are providing the best possible services to our participants. Providing educational opportunities will
increase the quality of care we can provide to our participants and aid in volunteer retention by providing
opportunities for professional development.
