FOA Foundation a 501c3 non-profit corporation​

​

During the last year, Dayton, Ohio has been labeled the overdose capital of the United States. We are tragically losing 192 people a day in the U.S. to accidental overdose. The numbers are frightening. Parents are terrified; afraid to leave, afraid to come home, afraid to even answer the phone. 

 

WE MUST SURVIVE ON THE FAITH AND HOPE THAT PEOPLE CAN AND DO GET BETTER.
 

FOA has a unique support system that focuses on success, hope and solutions. You are not alone.

FOA rebuilds families and transforms lives through the 3 E’s; Educate, Empower and Embrace. Through weekly support meetings in various Ohio counties, navigation, one-on-one phone support and outreach opportunities, FOA is a sought-after and respected resource in the Miami Valley. FOA is unique because we provide support for the entire family and advocate for individuals to find their face and voice, which is key to eliminating the stigma associated with addiction.

​

FOA is proving every day, that treatment is available and that people are getting better. See our stats here

​

FOA PROGRAMS and STRENGTHS

​

SUPPORT

  • Weekly meetings for all who are affected or curious about addiction and recovery

  • Creates a culture of understanding, respect and compassion 

  • Provide strategies for family support and obtaining and sustaining recovery  

  • Create an atmosphere that promotes the sharing of lived experiences of addicts and those affected by addiction

  • Disband myths and negative stigmas about addiction and recovery

​

ADVOCACY

  • FOA helps to expose people that have found and are living in recovery by creating pathways to connect them

  • Encourage a culture of transparency through messaging and modeling

  • Advocating for recovery resources when a person does not have the ability to advocate for themselves 

    • Act as advocate and liaison between the person and the resources

  • Annual FOA Rally 4 Recovery

    • To unite the people and resources of the Miami Valley

    • Eliminate the stigma associated with addiction 

    • Educate about addiction and recovery

    • Celebrate and show that recovery is possible and that it works!

​

RESOURCE CONNECTION

  • Networking to build and maintain relationships with the (some under marketed) resources in our communities

  • Families are slow to find the proper resources with the current system, FOA fills that gap

  • Expedite recovery solutions and resource engagement

  • FOA is not financed by any treatment facility or resource, therefore our guidance is not influenced by funding or other assistance

​

FOA fills many of the gaps in our current system and improves the quality of life of those we touch. Because we know that you can't do it alone, we plan to continue growing and fighting for individuals and families affected by addiction. 

​

Will you help us continue to work for this very important cause?
