Foundation for a Drug-Free World Volunteers Reach Athletes and Communities Across Italy During 2026 Winter Olympics
Volunteers reached athletes and visitors with drug education materials and said the outreach aimed to help youth and adults choose a drug-free life.
During the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy, volunteers from the Foundation for a Drug-Free World distributed 'The Truth About Drugs' booklets to athletes, visitors, and local communities seeking to promote drug-free living.
The initiative leverages the Olympic spirit to help youth and adults understand the dangers of drug use and make informed, healthy lifestyle choices through educational outreach.
At the Milano Olympic Village, volunteers presented educational materials to athletes and staff members; one volunteer also shared booklets directly with a torchbearer during the games.
Beyond the Olympic venues, local businesses across Italy have welcomed the campaign, with one shop owner requesting a display stand after receiving a booklet from a volunteer.
Supported by a network of volunteers, the Foundation distributes millions of educational booklets to communities worldwide annually, reflecting its global mission to address drug abuse through prevention.
