SUCCESS IN PREVENTION
Our programs work. The statistics above reflect that. We are proud to help our community understand the risks of substance use and make healthy choices.
We are able to do that because of your help. Businesses, civic leaders and citizens from across Milford contribute to our success. We also work closely with many organizations in our community. These groups and their leaders play a big part in making our programs happen.
Get involved! Put your passion for Milford to work for a good cause. Attend our monthly meeting or volunteer at one of our events. All are welcome!
