The Van Buren County SAFE
Coalition and Van Buren County Community School District has been awarded a
grant from The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration to
STOP (Sober Truth on Preventing) Underage Drinking. The grant award was for
$50,000 a year for 4 years beginning April 30, 2020. The program will work to
make server trainings mandatory for every business that obtains a liquor
license, provide 12 Merchant Alcohol Trainings (two trainings every other
month), and will support the efforts of law enforcement to perform semi-annual
compliance checks. The ultimate goal of these activities is to reduce the
access to alcohol by underage youth and young adults, in turn reducing the
number of youth and young adults who are using alcohol in the county. If you
would like more information on the STOP Act Grant or any of the coalition’s activities
please feel free to contact the SAFE Coalition at 319-293-3334 or safe.coalition@van-burencsd.org.
