2021
Public Health Everything was founded following the loss of a family member to suicide in 2018. Inspired to raise awareness around men's mental health and suicide prevention, the organization began by distributing thousands of stickers printed with the suicide hotline number in his memory. What started as a grassroots effort quickly evolved into an online platform offering products that promote awareness across a range of public health issues, with a strong focus on supporting harm reduction and recovery communities.
After recognizing significant gaps in access to lifesaving resources within the community, the founders, alongside a group of dedicated volunteers, began distributing overdose reversal medication wherever it was needed, ensuring it reached anyone who could benefit.

What started with direct hand-to-hand distribution grew into a larger scale operation including concerts, festival and other gatherings. At their first major event in Berks County, an overdose occurred and was successfully reversed using medication they had distributed onsite. Since then, Public Health Everything has expanded its outreach to events across Colorado, West Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
A highlight of large-scale distribution includes an unforgettable trip to Red Rocks in Colorado, where we distributed 500 doses of overdose reversal medication, in less than an hour.
In addition to concert distribution, the organization began to distribute “Take What You Need” boxes of critical supplies, which are installed in high-need locations such as universities, barbershops, nail salons, bookstores, probation offices, methadone clinics, treatment centers, law firms, domestic violence shelters, and libraries, providing free access to essential supplies.

As the organization grew, corporate and community training became a natural next step. These programs are designed to help workplaces and organizations become safer, more informed, and better equipped to support both employees and the broader community.
Training topics include stigma reduction, overdose prevention, harm reduction, recovery support, and crisis response.
2025
In 2025, Public Health Everything officially became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, allowing the organization to expand its operations and broaden its focus on overall health and wellness.
A formal board of directors was established, along with a long-term strategic plan to guide future growth and impact. Achieving nonprofit status also created greater financial stability and increased the organization’s ability to expand programs, partnerships, and community outreach effort.
2026
Through continued partnerships PHE began to provide supplies for people in times of transition, such as re-entering from prisons, jails, rehabilitation centers, halfway houses, and shelters.
Other community partnerships include filling tiny pantries, blessings boxes and other community based distribution of supplies.
Public Health Everything began mail-based services in 2026. In efforts to support our peers and other organizations who lack access to supplies, the Public Health Everything warehouse was set up in March.
