Milford Elks Lodge #1589 Awards MPC 2019 National Gratitude Grant
 The National Gratitude Grant of $2,000 will allow MPC to partner with the Elks to provide additional resources for programs that seek to prevent drug and alcohol abuse and increase the overall behavioral health and well-being of our youth.
“We have been lucky to secure this grant to benefit the Milford Prevention Council,” said Drug Awareness chairwoman, Kathy Hart. “We’ve already worked together on a billboard in Milford that will bring awareness to the dangers of vaping. We plan to continue to work closely with the MPC through our resources at a national level and locally with our volunteers and members. We expect to deliver additional Narcan training in the future and new substance use and abuse presentations and community events, including vaping presentations in our schools.”

Stephen Hill, a recovery speaker, presents at The Academy and Foran High School
This past month, recovery speaker Stephen Hill spoke with Academy students and the sophomore class at FHS about his personal struggles with substance abuse, journey to recovery, and the many benefits of living a clean and sober lifestyle today. His message was so well received that MPC is partnering with BOWDAAC (Bethany, Orange, Woodbridge Drug/Alcohol Action Committee) to bring him to High Plains Community Center in Orange on May 13.
