On Friday, July 3, Chatham Star Tribune sponsored a Drive-Through Picnic at their office location and at the office of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Danville Area. We fed 75 Bigs, Littles, and family members that brought the children. The Regional Alliance for Substance Abuse Prevention provided bags of information about preventing drug and alcohol abuse in elementary, middle, and high school age youth. Social distancing bags were distributed by Community Development of the City of Danville. Special thanks to the Star Tribune for their contribution.
