GARDINER — Healthy Communities of the Capital Area, fiscal sponsor for Gardiner Area Thrives Coalition, is a recipient of a $125,000 federal grant from the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy under the Drug-Free Communities Support Program.
This program, managed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, represents an opportunity to strengthen ongoing efforts in preventing youth substance use in the community.
ONDCP’s DFC program is the nation’s leading effort to mobilize communities to prevent and reduce substance use among youth. The program provides federal grants to community coalitions to identify and respond to the issues unique to their community and change community conditions tied to youth substance use. With this grant, Gardiner Area Thrives Coalition will be able to continue building a safe, healthy, and drug-free community.
