SPRINGFIELD – House Republican Floor Leader State Representative Patrick Windhorst (R-Metropolis) hosted the Massac County Drug Awareness Coalition at the State Capitol in Springfield this week. Windhorst expressed his gratitude towards the coalition, stating, "I want to thank the staff and student volunteers that work so hard to make Massac County Drug Awareness Coalition work well for individuals struggling with substance abuse issues in our community."
Acknowledging the significant impact of drug-related issues, Windhorst highlighted the importance of the coalition's efforts, emphasizing, "Our world is a better place because of the hard work done by MCDAC."
The Massac County Drug Awareness Coalition (MCDAC), established in 2012, focuses on combating substance abuse, particularly in the youth population. Through collaboration across various community sectors, MCDAC aims to address the challenges posed by drugs such as methamphetamine. In recognition of its dedication, MCDAC was awarded a federal Drug-Free Communities grant in 2019 to enhance its prevention initiatives.
As Rep. Windhorst commended the relentless dedication of MCDAC in tackling substance abuse issues, he underscored the critical role played by the coalition in raising awareness and providing support to individuals in need.
