💊 2026 National DEA Medication Take Back Day 💙
Partnership for a Drug‑Free Community is proud to stand alongside the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) for the 2026 National Prescription Drug Take Back Day—an initiative that helps keep our families and communities safe.

Our involvement dates back to the very beginning. Since the first Take Back Day on September 25, 2010, we’ve been honored to support this nationwide effort to provide safe, convenient, and responsible disposal of unneeded medications. Removing unused prescriptions from homes helps prevent misuse, accidental poisoning, and substance use disorder.

📅 Mark your calendars and help keep the community safe.
✅ Bring your medications for safe disposal at a Take Back location near you.

Together, we can protect our loved ones and build healthier, drug‑free communities. 💪

You are stronger than your struggles. You are worthy of a life filled with purpose, peace, and possibility.

Keep growing. Keep healing. Keep choosing YOU. 💚

Our team had a wonderful time participating in Huntsville Community Kite Festival at John Hunt Park this weekend! The 14th annual festival brought together families from across the community for a day filled with colorful kites, sunshine, and fun for all ages.
