The Boys & Girls Clubs of Cumberland County held a Town Hall on the opioid epidemic, which featured a panel of experts on the subject. The epidemic continues to claim lives in Cumberland County as well as the rest of the state and nationwide. Great discussion, information and resources were delivered to attendees. Thanks to The Horizon Foundation and Vineland Municipal Alliance for supporting this important outreach component of the Positive Action program, which is a curriculum-based approach for youth on how to make positive decisions in their lives.
