💜 Overdose Awareness Day – August 31, 2026 💜

Every life lost to addiction mattered. Every story deserves to be remembered.

On Monday, August 31, 2026, at Noon, MVPASAP will host a special LIVE Overdose Awareness Day Broadcast from Methuen Community Studios. During the program, we will honor and remember those who have lost their lives to addiction by speaking each person's name aloud and sharing their photo in tribute.

We are so grateful for the incredible response—our spots for the May 15th painting session have been filled! If you missed out, we still have a few additional spots open. For anyone added on, there will be a $25 fee per adult. Each person is welcome to join us for this special, healing day of painting with Jefte Santo. Thank you all for your support—this is going to be such a beautiful experience!🎨🖌

Being a dad isn’t easy.
It doesn’t come with an instruction manual. But you don’t have to figure it out alone.

There's an incredible group of men who will guide you, support you, and challenge you to become the best version of yourself—not just as a father, but as a man.

Real strength is asking for help. Real growth happens together. ❤️
