Families Against Narcotics

“Since receiving the Art Van grant, FAN has been able to extend its outreach program  We have touched many lives through our improved literature, posters,  and have established our own library to educated parents that are facing addiction. It is allowing us to create billboards, and do public service announcements aimed at a broader range of people.  This grant has made it possible for a small community project to dream big about the effects we can make in the community.  Addiction is a disease that touches every family in some way, and this grant is allowing us to provide much needed education and understanding to this very complex issue. It is exciting to be a part of this effort and my hat is off to Art Van for allowing us this opportunity.”

Families Against Narcotics

  • Charles T. Missig

    F.A.N. is truly a wonderful organization, and we will continue to battle the horrible epidemic of drug addiction throughout our community!  Every family I know has been touched in some way by drug addiction, and F.A.N. will offer hope and services to any family that needs our help!
