✅The earlier someone begins using alcohol or other drugs, the greater the risk of developing an addiction later.
✅It means delaying use matters.
✅Every year we can help young people stay healthy and substance-free is valuable.

🧡 October is Substance Use Prevention Month.

Prevention isn't talking about drugs after something goes wrong.

It's about helping young people build the skills, relationships, confidence, and support systems they need before they ever face that decision.

This month, Fayette Prevention Coalition is sharing facts, conversation starters, resources, and ways families can make prevention part of everyday life.

Because prevention starts long before a crisis.

Nutrition, sleep, and physical activity are recovery tools. Research shows they can improve mood, support emotional regulation, and strengthen overall wellness.

BIG CHANGE for the 24th FREE Annual Community Thanksgiving Meal - Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 2026!

This well-loved 100% donation and 100% volunteer-driven community event is back to serve our community with FREE hot Thanksgiving meals with all the sides and fixings. New this year: Unlike last year and years prior, we will NOT be taking individual call-in orders. Instead, we will be preparing 4,000 meals and, based on last year's numbers, those meals will be distributed to each of our convenient pick-up sites.

Need a hot Thanksgiving meal? No questions asked. Just come pick them up ON THANKSGIVING DAY - as many as you or your family needs, up to 11 meals - at any of our distribution locations on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last. Come early, as meals will be available until they are all picked up.
