On Friday evening, VACHWA partnered with Iglesia Centro Vida in Manassas, Virginia, to host a Fentanyl Awareness & Prevention session. More than 40 parents and youth joined us for an interactive evening of learning, meaningful conversations, and a little friendly competition through Kahoot. Seeing families engaged, asking questions, and leaving better informed reminded us why this work matters.![]()

Then, bright and early Saturday morning, we welcomed another group of community members for our CPR, AED & First Aid Training. More than 35 participants became certified, adding new lifesavers to our communities. In an emergency, the person who makes the biggest difference is often the one standing nearby. Thanks to these newly certified participants, more people are now prepared to act when every second counts.![]()
