Rincon Rotary helps substance abuse educational efforts at COPE Community Services.

Russell Burns of the Rincon Rotary presents a grant to COPE Community Services at their annual open house.

COPE Community Services' Thrive Program requested funds from Rotary LOCAL to incentivize participation in the engagement and education of participants in youth substance abuse and mental health treatment programs. The RIncon Rotary embraced the opportunity to help these youth seeking treatment for heroin addiction.

The Rotary LOCAL Program's mission is to help improve the local community through educational outreach. Rotary LOCAL can provide manpower, resources from local business partners, or in some cases, direct financial support to teachers who apply for assistance.
