Keep the dance floor alive.

Mission

Harm reduction with a heartbeat.

PLUR Denver turns Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect into real-world care for Denver’s EDM, rave, nightlife, and festival community. We reduce stigma, put tools in reach, and help people make safer choices before, during, and after the show.

P

Peace

Lower panic with clear tools, calm information, and access that does not require an appointment or a confession.

L

Love

Meet people with dignity. Harm reduction is care, not a lecture and not a condition of being helped.

U

Unity

Dancers, venues, promoters, shops, and volunteers keep each other safer when supplies and culture move together.

R

Respect

People who use drugs — including people who party — deserve accurate information and the right to make their own choices.

Lifesaver Hub supplies

Low- and no-cost tools for the night.

Stock moves as people use the machine. Donations are how naloxone and the rest of the kit come back.

Naloxone nasal spray
Narcan

Naloxone

Overdose-reversal medication. The state will not donate it for recreational and nightlife use, so the Hub depends on community restocks.

Fentanyl test strips
Xylazine strips too

Fentanyl test strips

A few minutes of checking can change a night. Fentanyl and xylazine strips help people make a more informed choice before they use.

DanceSafe reagent kit
DanceSafe-style checking

Reagent kits

Multi-use reagent kits give more information than a single strip. Built for festival, club, and afterhours culture.

Ear
Hearing is harm reduction

Earplugs

Loud rooms are part of the night. High-fidelity earplugs protect hearing without asking anyone to leave the floor.

EC
Morning-after pills

Emergency contraception

Sexual health belongs in harm reduction. Morning-after pills are part of the low- and no-cost toolkit when the Hub is stocked.

+
Water, education, first aid

Event care basics

Practical extras for late, crowded, hot rooms — plus clear, non-judgmental information people can actually use in the moment.

Why community funding

The state will not donate naloxone for this community.

Colorado does not treat recreational drug users as the same risk category as people labeled with addiction. Donated Narcan from the state does not flow to nightlife, festival, and rave settings — even though fentanyl does.

PLUR Denver exists in that gap. Every dose in the Lifesaver Hub is bought with private gifts. If the machine is empty, it is not because the need went away.

FAQ

For dancers, venues, and donors.

What does the Lifesaver Hub carry?

When stocked: naloxone (Narcan), fentanyl and xylazine test strips, reagent kits, earplugs, emergency contraception (morning-after pills), and other event-care basics. Inventory changes as the machine is used — donations are how it gets refilled.

Is this only for people with addiction?

No. PLUR Denver serves people who use drugs in any pattern — including recreational, festival, and nightlife use. Overdose risk does not wait for a diagnosis, and neither should naloxone.

Why do you need donations for naloxone?

Colorado’s donated naloxone programs are structured around people categorized as having a substance use disorder. Recreational and nightlife users are not treated as the same risk category, so the state will not provide naloxone as a donated product for this community. Private gifts buy the doses that go in the Hub.

Where is the machine, and when is it open?

Inside Things That Glow at 5275 W 48th Ave, Denver, CO 80212. The Lifesaver Hub is listed as available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Stock may vary.

Are donations tax-deductible?

Yes. PLUR Denver is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. EIN 33-3708477. Gifts are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by U.S. law. Donate through Give Lively on this site.

Can venues, promoters, or shops partner?

Yes. Call 303-427-9090. We can talk about stocking a room, hosting a table, or getting supplies to a crew before a show.
