Bartholomew County Substance Abuse Council has announced its grant distributions, sending $38,492 to substance abuse prevention and education programs.
For several years, churches, law enforcement, non-profits and other organizations have relied on these grants – from funds obtained from the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute – to help maintain long-established responses to alcohol and substance abuse problems.
The council is distributing the grants to 10 different organizations this year, Substance Abuse Council President Rick Scalf told the Bartholomew County commissioners on Monday. The grants fall into three general categories: Prevention and Education, Treatment and Intervention, and Criminal Justice Services, Scalf said.
