WACP’s Drug Free Communities Grant Program started its seventh year 
of federally funded operation in October 2009, and has secured 
funding through September 2013.  We are very excited with the 
direction our program has headed the past several years, including 
the opening of the Winston Community Teen Center in Spring 2008, and 
our  collaboration with the local community, the Douglas County 
Commission on Children and Families, and the Winston-Dillard School 
District, engaging in Developmental Asset building in the Winston 
community.  For more information about what Developmental Assets are, 
visit the 40 Assets tab on this web-site or visit 
www.buildourkids.org. 

Also this year, WACP has worked in cooperation with the local Winston 
Police Department to establish the highly successful "Prescription 
Drug Take-Back Program", in which citizens can drop off unused 
medications at the police department for disposal, thus alleviating 
the chances of these medications getting into the wrong hands or 
contaminating our ground water through other means of disposal.

If you are interested in getting involved in our efforts to reduce 
drug use in the Winston Community, please call Linda Cline at (541)
