About Us

We are so many things to so many people. We are a committed community partner to anyone whose mission is committed to aiding those struggling with SUD, recovery, mental health, homelessness or simply needing a hand up in life.

We meet the 3rd Tuesday of the month at The Strano & Feeley Funeral Home at 630 pm. We are in our 7th year for these meetings. At these meetings you will hear journeys to recovery, families who are celebrating their loved ones recovery or sadly death, resources for pretty much everything come and share and Narcan training. These meetings allow you to truly understand you are not alone on life's walk.

Face the Facts is frequently out in the community doing outreaches, clothing drives, Narcan training and referrals to our many community partners for resources.

Face the Facts was the leading force to have, state, county and all cities, towns and villages in Delaware lowering their flags on August 31st in recognition of those lost to Overdoses.

Face the Facts DE is the founder of Overdose Awareness Day DE held annually. This event was held at Delcastle Recreational Park Annually. This is a free family event.
