A Clean Syringe Costs Just Pennies ... Literally

In 2007 the budget for Fresno Needle Exchange was $47,000 - and was 100% funded by grants and donations.
No taxpayer money was used to run this program. None. Zero. Zilch.
But on the flipside, how much money do you think this program has saved in lives, suffering, and public dollars over the 15 years it has been in existence? Is it even calculable? Doesn't Mastercard refer to that as "Priceless"?
