Community Yard Sale Underway Today (Saturday, May 8) to benefit DeKalb Prevention Coalition (View video here)

Join the effort to fight substance abuse in our community by supporting the annual Community Yard Sale fundraiser for the DeKalb Prevention Coalition today (Saturday, May 8) in the parking lot of the county complex on South Congress Boulevard.
The event is underway featuring a yard sale and baked goods. All proceeds will be used to support the mission of the coalition to reduce dependence on harmful and potentially lethal substances such as prescription drugs, alcohol, and tobacco.
Lisa Cripps, DPC spokesperson, said the community has generously donated clothes and baked goods for the yard sale and everything is reasonably priced.
In addition to the shopping opportunities, free Narcan kits and training are available in the proper use of Naloxone.
“Narcan or Naloxone Nasal Spray is recommended for the emergency treatment of a known or suspected opioid overdose. It has been proven to be an extremely effective medication that stops opioid overdoses and saves lives.
Although the Coalition receives grant funding to help further its mission, local funding is also vitally important. “We run off of a grant from the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services but that is regimented on how we can spend our money so we need some extra to go along with that and this fundraiser is one way we get those extra unrestricted dollars. All money raised will go back to our community to help reduce substance abuse here,” added Cripps.
