RED RIBBON WEEK October 23-31

Drug Free Comfort is pleased to announce our participation in the annual Red Ribbon Week, taking place from October 23rd to 31st, 2025. This year, we invite all community members, schools, and local organizations to join us in promoting a drug-free lifestyle and raising awareness about the dangers of substance abuse.

It all started in 1985 when Kiki Camarena gave his life while preventing drug trafficking. We commemorate Kiki’s life as a DEA Special Agent and honor his efforts to eliminate dangerous and illegal drugs from our communities.

Red Ribbon Week is an ideal time to have a discussion with our youth about the dangers and consequences of using drugs. There are serious health consequences like brain damage causing mental illness including psychosis.  What are your lifetime goals and what does drug use do to your chances of achieving those goals?

The primary objective of Drug Free Comfort is to prevent our youth from ever getting started on drugs. The chances of our young people being invited to participate in drug use are high. They need to have the ability to SAY NO because they KNOW. Now is a good time to raise their awareness and knowledge.
