HARDING ALLIANCE AGAINST SUBSTANCE ABUSE:

Harding Alliance was recently approved for supplemental funding by the County Freeholders, made possible by the generous support of the Harding Township PBA Local #340 and the HT Educational Foundation, and our Township Council. Specifically, the funds will be used by HTS Student Council to provide alternative activities to substance abuse; a portion of the grant will be used to augment educational resources in the DARE and health curriculum, as well as the BABES program. Thank you to everyone who collaborated to make supplemental funding possible.  

Our mission is to provide education and resources to promote healthy decision-making and to avoid substance abuse and risky behaviors. Harding Alliance members are concerned citizens, police, and health and school professionals. Our next meeting is June 15, at 8:30 AM in the Guidance Office of Harding Township School.  Register for updates to our new website athttps://sites.google.com/site/hardingalliance/and our blog at http://hardingalliance.blogspot.com/.
