Honoring lives lost to addiction and fentanyl poisoning by raising awareness, educating, promoting prevention, encouraging those in recovery and helping those who are struggling and their families.

We stand on this verse: “…You meant evil against me, but God made it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.” Genesis 50:20.
