Nov. 3, 2023 – LOCShannon Smith is the director of housing and community development for Lighthouse, an organization that provides resources like food and shelter for people in the community. 

On Friday, Smith was teaming up with the nonprofit Alliance of Coalitions to provide resources she hopes will make a difference. 

They were installing Save a Life Stations at three of their facilities. The stations are filled with a variety of free resources, including Narcan, Fentanyl and Xylazine testing strips. 

“Having these accessible in my community was of the utmost importance to me,” Smith said.
