Drug-Free Tennessee Spreading Its Message All Summer Long

Drug-Free Tennessee is the local chapter of the Foundation for a Drug-Free World, and is planning a series of events during the summer.

Drug-Free Tennessee (DFT) is committed to ending the drug problem in the state. That is why each year, volunteers organize and participate in a series of events to bring awareness to this issue and combat usage.

In 2018, DFT volunteers are determined to reach more people than ever. In June, the chapter will distribute booklets at Father’s Day festivals, on International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, and during other community events.  During July and August, even more events will take place with Drug-Free Tennessee spreading its drug-free message.

“If we can delete the demand, we can erase the problem,” says Regional Director of Drug-Free Tennessee, Rev. Brian Fesler. “We need to go to all people, to get everyone this information on the truth about drugs.”

Drug-Free Tennessee is the local chapter of the Foundation for a Drug-Free World, an international nonprofit organization based in Los Angeles, California, with a focus on the elimination of drug and alcohol abuse and its resulting criminality. It distributes the Truth About Drugs booklet, which covers all basic side effects of drugs, common street names, and how to recognize when you are being persuaded by a dealer.
