History and Purpose |
|
The Mission of the Wall Township
Community Alliance and other Municipal Alliances is to reroute funds from drug
arrests into Substance Abuse Prevention education and related community service
activities within our town and in our schools. The Alliance is funded by a
grant from Monmouth County for this purpose. The Alliance was instituted by the
State of New Jersey's Governor's Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse in 1989
and approved in 1991. It is also called the Governor's Alliance for Substance
Abuse Prevention. |
Who Composes the Alliance |
|
The Wall Township Community Alliance
Committee is composed of several Volunteer members and a Coordinator.
The members represent different sectors of the community, for instance,
Clergy, Town, Board of Education, School system, Businesses, Service Clubs,
Trade Unions, VFW etc. The Coordinator acts as a liaison for the committee
and other community organizations and organizes and hosts prevention and
education activities and events for the committee as they decide. |

DONATIONS NEEDED

The Wall Township Community
Relations/Alliance Committee now has two clothing bins located at the Wall
Township Recycling Center off of Atlantic Ave. and Tilton's Corner Road. The
proceeds from the clothing bins, which are maintained by the Read Foundation,
will go toward projects related to drug and alcohol awareness in Wall Township.
The next project that will be funded by the proceeds is the Drug and
Alcohol Awareness Poster Contest, which is held for the fourth grades in all
the elementary schools in Wall Township. The monies will pay for first, second
and third place prizes for each school.
Additionally, the Community
Relations/Alliance Committee coordinates the alcohol and drug free Project
Graduation for the Wall High School. The Committee, which is comprised of
volunteers from within the community and is primarily funded by grants and
donations, urges all residents to please utilize the clothing bins located at
the recycling center.
If you have any questions or would like to
volunteer to help with Project Graduation, please telephone Kristin Meyler,
Alliance Coordinator, 732-681-6981. |
