Join our 
Bar Outreach Community Challenge! 
 
As a community, we can end drug-facilitated sexual assault.
 

 
Hello Asheville Community! 
 
If you are a bar owner, manager, staff, or simply a concerned community member wanting to do their part in eliminating drug-facilitated sexual assault (DFSA), look no further than our Bar Outreach Community Challenge! 
 
We strongly believe that in order to solve a problem, we must first be able to put a name to it AND be able to recognize it when we see it. And with DFSA occurring mostly within alcohol-serving establishments, we know that this is a problem that can only be solved on a community level.
 
Which is why we created the Bar Outreach Community Challenge and the goal of training 120 bar staff and 50 community members by June 2024!
