Mission
The Zachary Project’s mission is to work diligently to increase addiction awareness, work on prevention in our communities, and support families affected by the tragedy of addiction.
Zachary
Zack’s capacity for love made a lasting impact on all who knew him. His family and friends were the most important thing in his life.

The memories he created will forever bring comfort to those he left behind.

Then one day, Friday, February 24, 2017, he came to my office, bursting with energy and filled with excitement because his driver’s license had just been returned. He was so happy.
