The Mayors Anti-Drug Coalition was started by Mayor Tammy de Weerd as one of her top priorities shortly after taking office in January of 2004.
The Coalition provides progressive leadership, education, resources, and direction to solve alcohol and drug problems within the Meridian City limits and surrounding areas.
Improving community safety and quality of life by preventing and/or reducing substance abuse are the goals of the Coalition.
SSC is proud to be an active member of the Coalition.
