Please Note: The Council on Chemical Abuse is not affiliated with Clean One Clean All (COCA) Recovery Houses in Reading, although they share the same acronym.

Red Ribbon Week is nationally recognized and celebrated as a symbol of support for efforts to reduce drug use through youth prevention and education programs. By wearing a red ribbon during the last week in October, individuals demonstrate their opposition to illegal drugs and illustrate their dedication to living drug-free.
The 2021 Red Ribbon Campaign Theme was Drug Free Looks Like Me™. According to the campaign website, the theme was created by Ohio 7th grader Marin Wurst. It serves as a reminder that everyday Americans across the country make significant daily contributions to their communities by being the best they can be because they live Drug-Free.
The Council on Chemical Abuse sponsors the National Red Ribbon Campaign by providing red ribbons and educational programming free upon request to Berks County schools.
