King’s College Community Health Impact Program

King’s College was granted $300,000 from AllOne Foundation for a Community Health Impact Program specifically addressing Food Security and Opioid Solutions.

The Food Dignity Project
The heart of the King’s College Food Dignity® Project established food marketplaces providing free healthy food, both perishable and non-perishable, at local nonprofits. 

Opioid Use Disorder Destigmatization Initiative
The King’s College Opioid Use Disorder Destigmatization Initiative educated college communities in order to decrease stigma associated with opioid use disorder, changing the culture of shame, and humanizing opioid use disorder to reduce addiction, as those with an opioid use disorder  seek treatment. King’s College partnered with the STOP Coalition on this Initiative, and aligned efforts with those of Shatterproof, using some of Shatterproof’s evidence-based messaging tailored to a college-age audience, creating a blueprint in which additional colleges around the country can replicate.

Students wished to thank AllOne Foundation for the funding that allowed them to make a difference.
