Jeffrey Reynolds

The fight to end the scourge that is heroin and other highly addictive drugs has been at the core of everything Jeffrey Reynolds has done over the last decade and more. Reynolds is an advocate for people suffering through drug dependence and is leading the charge against the Island’s heroin epidemic—which, despite all the progress that’s been made, still threatens communities across the region. But Reynolds is undaunted. There’s no one better equipped to battle the scourge than Reynolds, who for five years served as executive director of nonprofit Long Island Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (LICADD) before taking on a larger role as president and CEO of Family and Children’s Association (FCA)—a nonprofit committed to caring for the most vulnerable among us and helping them prepare for successful futures. Anyone who has battled drug addiction in the past knows they have a true champion in Reynolds, who will not only go to bat for people battling dependence and ensure the mechanisms are in place to help them recover, but he also has no problem taking on elected officials who threaten to cut funding for important programs designed to improve lives.
