Buffalo Community Forum Seeks Input On Shaping The Future Of A2A Program
Buffalo, NY — On Thursday, April 16, 2026 from 6:00-8:00 p.m., the WNY Independent Living Family of Agencies will host a virtual com munity forum to gather input on the future of A2A (Addict 2 Addict).
Community members may have noticed the program using “A2A” in place of “Addict to Addict”—a shift made to reduce stigma. This forum is a chance to hear directly from program participants and the broader community on what A2A means to the community and what should represent the pro gram moving forward. The forum will also invite input on the pro gram’s broader rebranding direction, including its image.
The forum will be held via Zoom.
