Raymond NH had a very successful DEA Take Back event on Saturday, April 27, 2019:

This effort collected 350 pounds of medication for safe disposal!

• Thank you to the Raymond Police Department for working with us to make this a community friendly event to promote the importance of medication safety.  
  
  
• Thank you to the Raymond Fire Department for letting us use one of their bays so we could stay dry and out of the rain.
  
  
• Thank you to DEA agent Jon DeLena for amazing press coverage, who mentioned the Raymond Coalition For Youth community event several times on WMUR, and on the radio 95.7, on Friday. 
• 
  
• Thank you to Walmart who generously provided volunteers Jason and Greg, as well as hot dogs, donuts, water, coffee and two very exciting prizes for a raffle.
  
  
• Thank you to WMUR who stopped by on Saturday and interviewed us.  We were on the WMUR 6 pm news Saturday evening.
  
  
• Stay tuned for more updates from WMUR!
  

This event was prevention!   Reducing access to a substance that can be abused and providing our community information and awareness on medication safety – use, storage and disposal. 

Thank you to those who stopped by and joined us on Saturday.  We heard a lot of great stories and there were some very big smiles on little faces as Lt. Shevlin showed off the police motorcycle.  

Please check out the pictures that captured this day on our social channels, https://www.facebook.com/RCFYOUTH/  and feel free to share this great graphic that puts into a NH perspective how dangerous these drugs are.

Working together we do make a difference.  This was a true community partnership and resulted in a super success!
