Tobacco Control Program The Tobacco Control Program at FAME Assistance Corporation is a grant funded by the Los Angeles Department of Public health to promote smoke-free environments in different cities throughout LA County. Currently, FAME staff is working closely with City Councilmember’s and policy makers to pass an ordinance regulating drifting secondhand smoke in multi-unit housing complexes in Culver City. Secondhand smoke is the fourth leading preventable cause of death in the United States and annually kills 65,000 non-smoking Americans. In order to pass this policy, Fame staff has built a strong coalition of members and organizations passionate about tobacco prevention, has conducted over 500 surveys for data collection, conducts presentations for local organizations, recruits individual constituents to speak at city council, creates collateral materials for marketing the campaign and many other activities. FAME Assistance Corporation works on this campaign in collaboration with many well-renowned organizations including but not limited to: The American Lung Association, The American Heart Association, The American Cancer Society, SAFE- Smoke Free Air for Everyone, Breathe California, and the Tobacco Control and Prevention Program and the Los Angeles Department of Public Health.

Body&Soul FAME Assistance Corporation is working with the California Department of Public Health and its Network for a Healthy California campaign to implement the Body & Soul program in Los Angeles. Body & Soul is a program specifically designed for African American churches and their communities. Body & Soul is devoted to encouraging church and community members to lead a healthy lifestyle by eating healthy and adding physical activity to their daily routine. Churches that have adopted Body & Soul have a pastor that is committed and involved with the program, provide church activities that promote healthy eating, provide a church environment that promotes healthy eating, and provide peer counseling that motivates church members to eat a healthy diet. The churches also reach out to their communities and provide nutrition and health education. FAME Assistance Corporation provides support to its network of partner churches who have adopted Body & Soul and assists them in successfully implementing the program.
