FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS…

Red Project has provided essential services.

Sterile syringes prevent new HIV and Hepatitis C cases.
Safer shot supplies prevent (skin, soft tissue, and venous) infections, including sepsis, endocarditis, osteomyelitis, and losing limbs.
Treatment is now prevention for HIV.
Case management and recovery coaching can be a lifeline.
Naloxone (Narcan) saves lives.

Red Project believes in change. We believe it is necessary and that it is possible. We see change every day. We see a change in our participants when they step into a warm, welcoming environment where affirmation of their agency and control over their own lives occurs. We see a change in ourselves when we open up and work with participants on improving lives. We have seen and been a part of the change in Michigan – it is much easier to provide the programming now than it was 20 years ago when we began.

Yet, more change is needed.

Stigma is still prevalent around drug use, and prevents positive change from occurring. The lack of sterile health supplies for individuals in the community leads to preventable HIV and Hepatitis C infections. Individuals who use substances are neglected and unjustly persecuted, leading to overdoses and the continuation of the Opioid crisis nationwide. The political environment in our state and the nation often neglects those who need the most help.

Red Project has made it our mission to not only provide life-saving health supplies, but to serve as a non-judgmental environment for our participants to improve their health and well-being. We also seek to increase awareness of the problems our participants face, and to advocate for them in our community and in a governmental capacity. We believe that change is possible, and that we have an obligation to seek it to improve the lives of those we serve.

We ask that you stand with us as we continue to create change – it is hard work; it will take time, it will take money, it will take expertise, and it will take working together. Please consider a donation to Red Project to signify your commitment to changing the world.
