Sticker Shock Campaign
In anticipation for New Years Eve holiday JTAC held a Sticker Shock Campaign. However because of COVID 19 we decided instead of labeling the package goods inside of the store, it would be safer for us to purchase and label the brown paper bags and then donate them to the liquor stores for them to use over the holiday weekend. We distributed roughly 3000 bags.

Local Pharmacy Helps Combat Prescription Drug Misuse by Offering Safe Drug Disposal
On September 22nd Join Together Atlantic County partnered with Bunting Family Pharmacy helping them secure a permanent prescription drop box for the public to dispose of unused, unwanted, and expired medications. The box is located inside Bunting Family Pharmacy located at 1337-a, New Rd, Northfield, NJ, 08225. It will be available to the public during normal business hours, which are 9:00AM until 7:00PM Monday through Friday, and from 9:00AM until 4:00PM on Saturday.
We commend Bunting Family Pharmacy for taking the initiative to help keep our communities safe by offering the public a safe way to dispose of their medication. Properly disposing of your medications help prevent the theft and diversion of powerful opioid medications and also helps protect our environment.

"Say Nope 2 Dope"
"Don't be fooled by the medical marijuana smokescreen. Every state that has legalized recreational marijuana started by passing seemingly harmless “medical marijuana” laws."
