🚨 New data is alarming: alcohol‑related deaths in the U.S. have spiked — and women are being hit hardest. Between 1999 and 2024, overall deaths tied to drinking rose by nearly 90%. Even more shocking: alcohol‑induced deaths among women aged 25‑34 increased by 255%.

As holiday celebrations ramp up, it’s a reminder to check in on loved ones — and remember that for some, a drink can be dangerous. Let’s look out for each other. 💛

🚨 Nuevos datos son alarmantes: las muertes relacionadas con el alcohol en los Estados Unidos se han disparado — y las mujeres son las más afectadas. Entre 1999 y 2024, las muertes vinculadas al consumo de alcohol aumentaron casi un 90%. Aún más impactante: las muertes inducidas por alcohol entre mujeres de 25 a 34 años crecieron un 255%.

A medida que comienzan las celebraciones navideñas, es un recordatorio para acercarnos a nuestros seres queridos — y recordar que, para algunas personas, una bebida puede ser peligrosa. Cuidémonos unos a otros. 💛

Indiana Alliance was proud to team up with INfancy Onward to volunteer at The Huntington County Farm Wagon mobile pantry! 🚚🥕
The Farm Wagon brings fresh produce, dairy, and other nutritious foods directly to low-income rural and urban communities where access to healthy options is limited. By supporting this effort, we helped ensure families could take home fresh, high-quality foods that make a real difference.
Everyone deserves access to nutritious choices — and The Farm Wagon welcomes all individuals and families in need. 💚
We’re grateful for the chance to serve our community and support healthier futures across Indiana.

✨ A historic milestone: The FASD Respect Act has been signed into law!
After nearly 20 years without federal authorization, the FASD Respect Act has been signed into law as part of the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Reauthorization Act of 2025 (HR.2483). Driven by nationwide family advocacy, this landmark legislation establishes a comprehensive federal response to prenatal alcohol exposure, empowering individuals and families affected by Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) and strengthening public health across the nation.
For the millions impacted by FASD, this is more than policy — it’s recognition, respect, and hope. 🌍❤️
