We meet people exactly where they are, both geographically and mentally, on the streets of the community to introduce resources for healthier choices they can make in their lives and their community. We provide tangible resources and education, share information for services they can utilize, and create an environment where they feel safe to share their unique story. We aim to serve all persons who struggle with substance use disorder from all races and ethnicities, various socioeconomic classes, and sexual orientation backgrounds. We serve people who do not feel comfortable with reaching out to large organizations and government entities.Impact Since March 2021, through Preventative Community Outreach, we have connected over 700 individuals with substance use disorder to treatment, services, and resources for harm reduction and recovery. In addition to people with SUD, we have interacted with over 5,500 additional individuals to provide education about the toxicity of drugs in our community, signs of overdose and how to administer Naloxone, services available to individuals with SUD, and support for others who have been affected by the opioid epidemic. April 2021 April 2024 we brought resources and assisted in connecting people to services through over 500 preventative community engagement events throughout Cuyahoga County, targeting areas with high overdose rates and known drug activity Distributed 6,300 naloxone kits We have received 63 reported overdose reversals using naloxone distributed by Project White Butterfly As of April 2024, over 80,000 Project White Butterfly cards have been distributed in Cuyahoga County and more than 20,000 outside the county: to 29 states and as far as London, England, and The Netherlands. We have created a walk-through gallery called "Dispelling Stigma" that presents statistics, science, and real-life stories of people with SUD, to be displayed at libraries, the Cuyahoga County Justice Center, high schools, and John Carroll University. Community Safe Space Meeting was created in January 2022. Project White Butterfly understands that substance use not only affects the person who is using, it ripples into the lives of the people around them, thus, we created this meeting so those in the ripple of someones substance use can find strength and comfort in knowing they are not alone on their journey of loving, and wanting to help, people who use drugs. In December 2023, work began to create The Recovery Collective - a recovery community organization under Project White Butterfly who's mission is to create a judgement-free and supportive community that fosters diversity, personal growth, and a sense of belonging on a person's unique path to holistic and sustained recovery. The Recovery Collective by Project White Butterfly will help bridge the gap between existing professional treatment services and sustained long-term recovery for people by enhancing peer-focused community engagement and support. 187437 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 0 false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 10 8 true false false false false false false true true false false false true true true false false true false false OH X Sara Szelagowski 2164109850 7452 Broadview Road 148 Parma OH 44134 Sara Szelagowski Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 14648 0 0 Raland Hatchett Board Chair 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Scott Britton Treasurer 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Amy Kuntz Secretary 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 14648 0 false false false 0 31616 156848 148556 337020 0 930 930 0 0 0 0 10375 31616 6146 4229 0 0 0 342179 930 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 14648 14648 0 0 0 0 1404 1404 0 0 0 0 121332 119912 1420 260 255 5 3008 1668 1340 4604 1312 3292 0 2628 2628 5060 4459 601 0 0 0 0 10164 10164 2717 1003 1714 Community Outreach 27666 27666 Printing and Publications 2622 1714 908 Training and Development 1679 88 1591 Other 1307 516 791 1314 1314 200413 187437 12976 0 58818 163994 0 0 3761 6875 0 0 0 0 0 50819 10164 40655 0 0 0 0 1 62579 211525 3559 10739 3559 10739 X 59020 200786 59020 200786 62579 211525 141766 X false false false X 2336 8262 51260 57890 302289 422037 0 0 2336 8262 51260 57890 302289 422037 0 422037 0 0 700 476 40646 41991 83813 505850 0.83430 0.73770 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 50819 10164 40655 40655 X false Butterfly Bash 41991 31616 10375 1110 2580 2456 41991 31616 10375 1110 2580 2456 6146 4229 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 Gary Szelagowski (Board Member Ex Officio) is the father of Sara Szelagowski (Executive Director, Board Member Ex Officio).
