A big 'thank you' to everyone that stopped by our office this past Saturday for Drug Take Back Day. The STAND KS youth volunteers teamed up with Sheriff Gay to bring in 219 pounds of medications to be disposed of properly. We appreciate the support we receive from STAND and our community in this endeavor.
Drug Take Back Day is held nationally twice each year, making sure prescriptions aren't lost, stolen or misused. We'll be back to do it again in the spring.A big 'thank you' to everyone that stopped by our office this past Saturday for Drug Take Back Day.
