The co-owner of six Bay Area Ace Hardware stores will be holding training events at the stores to teach people how to use Narcan, the overdose reversal drug.
Wednesday is National Fentanyl Awareness Day, and one local mother said she's on a mission to make sure no one else dies of an accidental overdose, like what happened to her 18-year-old son.Michelle Leopold and her husband own six hardware stores across the Bay Area. On Tuesday at their Ace Hardware store in Antioch, she's handing out Narcan and fentanyl test kits.
Gretchen Isenhoff was one of the first takers. 'I just lost a loved one, my son's father, he passed away in his hotel room in the Tenderloin by himself,' she said. Isenhoff said he died of a fentanyl overdose, and she wants to have Narcan on hand in case she ever sees anyone in crisis. 'We have community, and that community can be anywhere, and just looking out for each other,' she said.Michelle Leopold organized the event to train the more than 150 store employees as well.
