A grant has been secured that will allow for a prescription drug box in Helper City.
Helper resident Amanda Wheeler headed the efforts to obtain the grant for the city. The box is planned to be installed at the Helper City Police station.
“She did all of the legwork on finding resources who fund such an activity and will shortly complete the application,” said Helper City Mayor Lenise Peterman.
In addition to the drug box, additional funds are expected to create an anti-opioid marketing campaign for the community.
“I am excited for next steps and want to thank Amanda for her efforts on this front,” Mayor Peterman said.
