The PAL Coalition and the BRICC Coalition joined several community partners to host a drive-thru drug toss during National Public Health Week, underscoring the need for safe and legal disposal of unwanted or expired medications.
THANK YOU to LMPD, First Gethsemane Baptist Church and all of our volunteers for braving the rain and wind Saturday to collect medications to prevent substance abuse and protect our environment!
