Houston’s grocery trade has steps in to help by awarding Houston Crackdown’s Bright Ideas Community Grant Fund more than $799,000 to over 100 organizations in the past eight years. These organizations support positive, drug-free activities for youths through schools, churches, civic groups, and recreation centers. Houston Crackdown also coordinates the Drug Prevention Month public awareness campaign each October. This campaign encourages young people and adults to make the choice to stay drug free.
