Upriver Youth Leadership Council delivered 3,000 stickered bags to their local pharmacy partner, Arnzen's Kamiah Drug, in the fight against opioid addiction. They designed their own stickers and enlisted the help of youth leaders to add the stickers to the Rx bags. With the DEA National Rx Take-Back Day coming up it is a great idea to help share with your community the importance of locking up medications and the best methods to dispose of unused meds properly. Amazing work UYLC!!
