Harm Reduction Services

We are excited to announce new opioid prevention and harm reduction services in Union City. Mayor Brian P. Stack and the Board of Commissioners are proud to announce a new strategic partnership with Partners in Prevention to bring expanded opioid prevention and harm reduction services to Union City.

Harm Reduction Kiosk

With the support of Mayor Brian P. Stack and the Union City Board of Commissioners, in partnership with the Hudson Pride Center, we proudly unveiled the city’s first-ever Harm Reduction Kiosk on Saturday, September 13th.

The kiosk is located at the Hudson Pride Center’s Union City Office at 4428 Bergenline Ave, and is open to the public. It will offer free access to Narcan (Naloxone), first aid kits, hygiene kits, and educational materials on prevention and wellness.
