The Coalition for a Better Wallingford is a grassroots organization established in 2012 as a result of alarming drug and alcohol addiction abuse statistics among teens and young adults in the Wallingford, CT community. Me In Red Ribbon
Our Mission is to "Engage Wallingford's community resources to produce healthy, caring, and responsible citizens by raising awareness and reducing substance abuse among our youth."
Our focus was still on trying to
understand the scope of pain and suffering wrapped around the inhuman totality of our substance
abuse problem. The numbers are staggering – 93 confirmed dead, and counting. Overdose transports
and emergency room traffic that boggles the mind. It was and still is to some extent, difficult to define
and control all of the influences that contribute to this predicament we find ourselves in. Most people
believe drug abuse will be woven into the fabric of our culture forever – and they are probably right.
Keep up the good work. Your message has got to spread and have an impact on the youth ... they are our future.
