Our Mission and Vision
Who We Are
EF5 is a family run non-profit charity in Oregon focused on providing support and resources for families grieving the loss of loved ones due to fentanyl poisoning. See our Mission Statement here.
We strive to raise awareness, promote prevention, distribute harm reduction supplies while offering emotional and financial support to families effected by a fentanyl loss.
​
EF5 was founded in memory of Erika, to honor her life and prevent future loss. You can view her dedication video here to learn more about the heart behind our mission.

EF5 stands for Erika's Father, Family & Friends Fighting Fentanyl.
