By raising awareness about the use, storage and safe disposal of all medication, operation medicine cabinet is working to keep harmful drugs from falling into the wrong hands. Since its inception, our nationally recognized pharmaceutical take-back program has collected more than 12,000 lbs. Of medication for safe disposal. Offered at no cost to the public, operation medicine cabinet is a prescription for safe kids and a clean environment. Dfc has collected more than 8,000 lbs of unused or expired medications. Since its inception, we have collected more than 1 ton of unwanted medications. Together we can change society's complacency and redirect the future of our communities.
$152,211 spent100% of program spendingCore society - the core acronym stands for character, opposing drugs, responsible choices, and expectations. The core society is a group of students whose purpose is to improve their high school community by uniting together against all forms of harmful substances. Their mission is to offer fellow students drug free alternatives and the support needed to maintain a healthy and drug-free lifestyle. Core clubs are thriving at 5 collier middle schools and five collier high schools. Each club averages approximately 25 students. Clubs are set to open at 2 additional schools. Drug free collier brought in guest speakers to deliver specific messages regarding substance misuse to core clubs. Cvs pharmacy's diversion division has brought their "one choice" presentation about the dangers of opioids and prescription medication abuse to select core clubs.
Community awareness presentations - drug free collier works tirelessly to raise awareness and provide essential tools for today's busy parents and grand parents as well as critical empowerment skills for teenagers. Our coalitiion reached over 30,000 students and 15,000 parents, educators and community leaders with messaging on the opioid crisis, marijuana effects on developing brains, synthetic drugs, vaping, and how to properly dispose of medications and how prescription drugs enter the street drug supply.
Hidden in plain sight - in 2015, drug free collier launched a program designed to help parents of teens recognize unfamiliar hazards that are often in plain sight, this interactive program allows parents to walk through a makeshift childs bedroom and identify objects that could provide critical insights about risky behavior such as substance use, violence, eating disorders, and so much more. The program was developed in conjunction with the collier county sheriffs office to help todays busy parents learn about emerging trends and provide the necessary resources to address their concerns. Responsible alcohol vendor training drug free collier employees are certified to teach tips, a training and education program for the responsible service, sale and consumption of alcohol. Tips is a skills- based program designed to prevent intoxication, underage drinking, and drunk driving. Tips alcohol certificate is valid for 3 years upon successful completion.

The organization over time

Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $152k to $199k (+31%).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund SUBSTANCE ABUSE COALITION OF COLLIER COUNTY.
