U.S. Rep. Mike Thompson (CA-5) today announced a $125,000 Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Support Program grant for the UpValley Partnership for Youth, a broad-based prevention coalition led by the Napa County Office of Education and the UpValley Family Centers. The DFC Program is administered by the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP).

"Drug-free communities are strong communities," said Thompson. "A healthier and drug-free youth population means less crime, more community involvement, better grades and school attendance, and increased engagement in healthy activities. This grant will support the Up Valley Partnership for Youth's efforts to keep kids off drugs, and help our younger population stay on healthy and successful paths. I am proud to support their important work."
