Did you know that nearly half of drug overdose deaths among U.S. adolescents ages 12–17 involved synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl?

Substance use can have serious consequences, especially for young people. Education, awareness, and prevention are essential to protecting our youth and building healthier communities.

Awareness is the first step toward change.

We are excited to highlight one of our newest partnerships with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health to bring healthy foods to our community members!

The Food Access Investing in Resilience (FAIR) program is an initiative of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health’s Nutrition and Physical Activity Program, supported by a $9 million investment from the County of Los Angeles Justice, Care and Opportunities Department Care First Community Investment Care Grant Program.

At our FAIR program, we’re connecting justice-impacted individuals and families with fresh produce, food access resources, and wraparound services that support long-term stability and community resilience. Through June 2027, every third Thursday is an opportunity to nourish, connect, and empower.

Together, we’re investing in food justice and a healthier future for all! 💚🍎
