Since joining us on October 9, 2023, as a Community Outreach & Resource Coordinator, Annastasia has significantly impacted our efforts and the community at large.
Annastasia is not only a valued member of our team but also the founder of her own nonprofit organization, Harm Reduction Circle. Established in 2020, Harm Reduction Circle has been at the forefront of providing crucial resources and training to communities affected by substance abuse. One of Annastasia’s notable contributions to FS was conducting our first naloxone training in April 2023 held shortly after our establishment in January 2023.
We are proud to announce Annastasia’s latest accomplishment within our community. Harm Reduction Circle, founded by Annastasia, was recently honored with a plaque and a spot on the prestigious Wall of Recognition in Irvine, California, presented by Mayor Farrah Khan. This award highlights her exceptional contributions.
Established in 2006 and located in Colonel Bill Barber Marine Corps Memorial Park, the Wall of Recognition is a hallmark of Irvine. It celebrates community activism, involvement, and pride by honoring individuals and organizations that have made significant contributions to the community, enhancing its well-being and development.
