BECKLEY, WV (LOOTPRESS) – The Raleigh County Prevention Coalition will once again be hosting its annual Feel the Warmth event at Beckley’s Word Park.
Scheduled for Thursday, October 24, 2024, the event will take place from 9:00am and 1:00pm and invites community members from throughout the Beckley and Raleigh County area to come out and “feel the warmth.”
As part of the event, free coats, hot dogs, drug deactivation kits, substance use prevention information, and other resources will be available at no cost to those in attendance while supplies last.
“RCPC appreciates our community partners who are helping make this important event possible in our community!,” said the Raleigh County Prevention Coalition in a statement.
The Raleigh County Prevention Coalition will also be partaking in National Drug Takeback Day with the Beckley Police Department next weekend. From 10:00am to 2:00pm on Saturday, October 26, 2024, community members will have the opportunity to dispose of unused prescription drugs in a safe and lawful manner by dropping them off at one of two convenient locations in the Beckley area.
Unused prescription drugs will be accepted for disposal at the Raleigh County Commission on Aging at South Kanawah Street, as well as at Sam’s Club on North Eisenhower Drive.
