Grant would boost Unite’s impact

Members of the UNITE! Washougal Community Coalition are enthusiastically awaiting word on its application to receive a five-year $625,000 federal Drug-Free Communities grant. It’s money that has the potential to have a very significant impact on the incredible work already being done by this grass-roots, community-based and intensely-focused organization.

UNITE! Washougal Community Coalition was formed in May 2012, funded in part by a grant from the Community Wellness and Prevention Initiative from the Washington State Department of Behavioral Health. Adult coalition volunteers include city council members, teachers, school counselors, business leaders, law enforcement officials, members of faith based organizations and citizens.
