PROJECT “OUTREACH”

August 17, 2010 FADD No Comments

For more than 20 years, National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month (Recovery Month) has worked to improve the lives of the millions of Americans in need of treatment and recovery services. Recovery Month inspires millions of Americans to raise awareness about the effectiveness of treatment and the hope for recovery. 

This is FADD’s 4th year as we partner with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to distribute educational, awareness and prevention materials throughout Tulare County. FADD would like to thank them for donating these materials for us to make an impact in our communities (from Los Angeles County to Tulare County) for over 20 years. 

This is a community wide strategy that FADD is implementing in order for us to open up an educational, research and national calling center here in Porterville, CA. Those who share in our vision to improve the safety and development of our community may contact Robert Ybarra, Founder, FADD.

Sponsors and donations accepted for our annual drawing on 9/11/10. Thank you and God bless you.

National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month (Recovery Month) is celebrating its 21st year of observance this September, (our 4th year). FADD partners with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), they donate our educational and awareness materials in order to do our outreach campaigns into the communities in Tulare County. 

This year’s event will be held on Saturday, September 11, 2010 at Veterans Park (corner of Henderson and Newcomb) in Porterville, Ca. Our goal is to plan and coordinate a public/private effort to raise awareness on the dangers of driving under the influence (DUI).

The goal of our ARRIVE ALIVE campaign is to raise funds to open up an educational center here in Tulare County. We will be selling our FADD memberships, also tickets for our Walk-A-Thon, and we also seek new sponsors to support our efforts. There are part time positions available for those who would like to make an impact in our community, volunteers are also welcome to make phone calls, pass out flyers and send emails.

FADD is also inviting other organizations and church ministries to set up a booth as we will also be acknowledging “PATRIOT DAY” in memory of our fellow Americans that were lost in the tragedy at the Twin Towers in New York!!!

For more details you may contact Robert at the phone number above or email me at fadd@att.net. Thank you and God bless you.
