One Prevention Alliance is a COMMUNITY coalition, it takes the community to function at full capacity.  February seemed like a great month to mention some of the recent LOVE we have felt from our community!

YOUTH PREVENTION and PARENTING CLASS SPONSORSHIP  One Prevention Alliance is funded by two grants; however, there are certain items that cannot be purchased from either fund!  Amerigroup stepped in to fill the gap!  With their generous sponsorship, we are now able to reduce barriers (food, gasoline, activities for childcare) so that all can access our programs.

VOLUNTEER SEAMSTRESS WORK  Art is often used to engage youth.  Markers, pencils, crayons, paintbrushes, and more travel with One Prevention Alliance between schools and events.  Our volunteer seamstresses created AMAZING drawstring bags to help with organization of these supplies.  Thank you tp Merce Hamlin, Shelley Richardson, Dorothy Sundberg, and Kathy McKenzie for using their talent for the coalition!

iQ READ WITH ME GRANT  One Prevention Alliance partners with many on a program called, “Learn and Play”.  This monthly event provides a story time, craft project, and parenting ideas to families and caregivers with children from birth to age 5.  This program received $100 worth of free books from iQ Credit union to distribute to those families.  OPA is involved with “Learn and Play” because it provides a venue to share different prevention strategies with parents of our youngest learners.  Thanks, iQ Credit Union!

MAKE A PLAN, GET HOME SAFE is an educational campaign that One Prevention Alliance shares at local events that serve alcoholic beverages.  With the support of City of Stevenson lodging taxes, One Prevention Alliance will be able to bring FAMILY FUN to the Stevenson Waterfront Music Festival, while promoting “Make a Plan, Get Home Safe”.

AMAZON WISH LIST  One Prevention Alliance received many donations from ordinary local folks, much like yourself, by simply making a purchase off of our Amazon Wish List.  We are so grateful for the MANY who support our youth by supporting this coalition!

FEBRUARY . . . we feel the love!
