AVAILABLE ACROSS THE COUNTY. A GROWING CRISIS. IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, THE WORD THAT WE’VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IS FENTANYL. THE IMPACT THAT IT’S HAD ON OUR FAMILIES AND OUR COMMUNITIES HAS BEEN MORE DEVASTATING THAN ANYTHING ELSE THAT WE’VE SEEN. WAUKESHA COUNTY NOTICING A STEADY INCREASE OF FENTANYL RELATED DEATHS SINCE 2016. AND ON FENTANYL AWARENESS DAY, THEY’RE VOWING TO DO THEIR PART IN STOPPING THE TROUBLING TREND BY INSTALLING 100 OVERDOSE AID KITS OR OAK BOXES ACROSS THE COUNTY.
