Dear Editor,

As a member of the community, I was in attendance at the recent showing of Hungry Heart, the documentary bringing to light the problem of opiate addiction in Vermont. The movie brings to our awareness the potential for harm in our homes and communities. The student attendance was great. I would like to share the following resource with the JSC community as a follow-up to Hungry Heart.

The Lamoille County Sheriff’s Department will take back prescription and over the counter drugs year-round – no questions asked. However if you have questions please contact: Nate Dandrow at 851-1370 (school day) or at the 888-3502 (Sheriff’s Department). Nate can also be reached by email: [email protected].

I work for Healthy Lamoille Valley, a non-profit raising awareness around wellness in the Lamoille Valley. We have many projects going throughout the year. If you would like to become involved please give me a call at 635-1622.

Let’s keep our communities safe!

Thanks,

Jessica Bickford, Healthy Lamoille Valley
