Building healthier communities through connection, dignity,

Illuminate N.C. - Supporting Education

At Illuminate NC, we believe recovery begins with connection. Our Community Programs provide life-saving tools, education, and resources that meet people where they are. From overdose prevention to food access, these initiatives strengthen our communities and open doors to healing.

Harm Reduction Services

We are proud to operate harm reduction initiatives across Wake County, ensuring individuals and families have access to the resources they need:

  • News of Hope Naloxone Boxes – Refurbished newspaper dispensers in high-traffic areas, stocked with free naloxone and resource guides.
     
  • Overdose Response Training – For families, community groups, and service providers on how to recognize and respond to an overdose.
     
  • Outreach & Engagement – Weekly restocking and direct distribution through our harm reduction team.


Partners include Arise Collective, RCNC, WakeMed, King’s Ridge, The Place at the Table, and Church of the Good Shepherd Soup Kitchen.

Food & Wellness Initiatives

We partner with local organizations to reduce food insecurity and support holistic wellness:

  • Community Gardens & Nutrition Education — teaching healthy eating as part of recovery and long-term wellness.

Education & Peer Support

  • Workshops & Trainings – Culturally responsive and trauma-informed sessions for providers, students, and community members.
     
  • Peer-Led Recovery Support – Groups and activities designed to reduce isolation and build recovery capital.
     
  • Community Events – Participation in health fairs, neighborhood events, and coalitions to promote awareness and connection.

Why It Matters

Every life saved, every meal shared, every training delivered brings us closer to a healthier, more resilient community. Our Community Programs reflect Illuminate NC’s mission: to extend dignity, compassion, and support across every stage of the recovery journey.
