The battle of substance abuse is not an age-specific problem and that is why organizers of Saturday's Clinton Cares hope you'll consider bringing the whole family out.
Pam Schwartz with the DeWitt County Coalition indicates the message of substance abuse can impact anyone of any age from those who have the problem to the kids in the family. She says their event Saturday brings the message to everyone in an appropriate way.
Saturday is highlighted by special guest speakers and music on the square. Schwartz says they have a couple local gentlemen that have been through the DeWitt County Drug Court and then there are state and national speakers.
Money raised from the event go towards the DeWitt County Substance abuse coalition and their mission of being a resource for the community. Schwartz says the activities are free but donations will be accepted throughout the day.
Saturday's Clinton Cares event kicks off at 11 am with narcan training at the Warner Public Library. You can register for that by contacting Schwartz at 217-935-9507.
Then Clinton Cares is on the square from noon to 7 pm.
