National Impaired Driving Prevention Month

National Impaired Driving Prevention Month encourages families, educators, health care providers, and community leaders to promote responsible decision-making when operating motor vehicles and encourage young people to live free of drugs and alcohol. On average every year, it is estimated that 30 million Americans drive drunk, and 10 million Americans drive impaired by illicit drugs.

In recognition of National Impaired Driving Prevention Month December 1-31, 2023, America’s Charities is celebrating the following member who is making a difference in the fight to end the problem of impaired driving.

One of the most cost-efficient ways you can support these nonprofits is to donate to them via payroll deduction through your employer’s workplace giving program (Don’t have a program? Click here to have your employer contact our team.)
