Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Montgomery County Drug-Free Coalition meeting. We appreciate your time, participation, and continued commitment to making a difference in our community.

A special thank you to Nathan McCorkle for joining us and courageously sharing his recovery testimony. Your willingness to share your story, experiences, and hope is a powerful reminder of the impact that recovery and community support can have.

The Montgomery County Drug-Free Coalition and Montgomery County Sheriff's Office was honored to attend Overdose Awareness Day yesterday evening, dedicated to remembering those we have lost, supporting those in recovery, and raising awareness about the impact of substance use in our community.

Events like this remind us that behind every statistic is a person, a family, and a story. We carry their stories with us—not only in remembrance, but in our commitment to prevention, compassion, and creating a future where fewer families have to experience the pain of loss.

Thank you to everyone who helped make our Back 2 School Bash such a success!

Because of the incredible generosity of our sponsors and the dedication of our amazing volunteers, we were able to provide children with backpacks and school supplies, along with free haircuts and hairstyling services to help them feel confident as they head back to the classroom. Seeing so many smiling faces reminded us what can happen when a community comes together to support its kids.

A heartfelt thank you to every volunteer, sponsor, barber, hairstylist, community partner, and staff member who helped make this event possible. Your generosity, talent, and dedication made this day truly unforgettable and helped students start the school year feeling prepared, confident, and supported. We couldn't have done it without you!

Our Back 2 School Bash would not have been possible without the incredible support of our sponsors, community partners, vendors, volunteers, and service providers.

Thank you to everyone featured here for investing in the children and families of our community. Your generosity, time, and dedication helped make this event a tremendous success and ensured students headed back to school with the supplies and confidence they need for a great year.

We are incredibly grateful for your partnership and for helping make a difference in our community.

Stay tuned—we'll be sharing a look back at this year's Back 2 School Bash in our next post!

Yesterday afternoon, the Montgomery County Drug-Free Coalition was proud to partner with the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office, Riverside Police Department, Union Police Department, Dayton Police Department, Project DAWN, and dedicated community volunteers for GROW in Riverside.
Eight volunteer teams canvassed neighborhoods throughout the city, engaging 150 residents in meaningful conversations about available addiction and mental health resources. Volunteers also distributed seven naloxone kits to families and knocked on 231 additional doors, leaving information on how to connect with GROW representatives and access community services.

At the same time, Project DAWN volunteers visited local businesses, securing commitments from 11 establishments to participate in Narcan training and stock naloxone supplies.

Thank you to the City of Riverside and all of our community partners for their continued commitment to connecting residents with life-saving resources and support.
