The Fairfield Heritage Prevention Coalition (FHPC) is a community-based organization dedicated to addressing the menace of youth substance abuse and promoting healthier lives within the African and African American communities of Fairfield, Ohio, through community collaboration, to reduce the same to the barest minimum.
