Be a Game Changer, Take Down Underage Drinking!

Many parents mistakenly think it's safe for their teens to drink at home or under their supervision, however allowing underage drinking is harmful.

A deep breath.
A cup of tea.
A work out instead of a wine.

They're watching,
and often copying,
our decisions.

The little choices we make today
add up to the life they learn to live.

Our next Takeback event is scheduled for October 25th. Bring your unused, unwanted, and expired household medications.

We also will have safe disposal for e-cigarettes and vapes.
