Why a Capital Campaign?
Over the last five years, Owen County’s children and youth
have received tremendous opportunities as the result of
efforts funded through grants focused on substance abuse
prevention and mental health services. As a result of these
opportunities, fewer students report they have tried
alcohol and drugs; more students report their mental health
needs are being met; academic performances have improved;
and the individuals, agencies and churches working to
provide these services are working more collaboratively to
increase efficiency and effectiveness of available
resources.
Unfortunately, as is the case with all grants, the funding
cycle for these grants is nearing the end. But because of
the impacts that have been made, community leaders wish to
continue the programs and services that have been started
with these grant dollars. We believe that the importance of
these efforts is so great that we are willing to make
personal sacrifices to support the efforts as well as ask
our friends to join us in this work.
None of us can change our community alone, but by working
together to address the causes that lead to substance abuse
and mental health issues and the consequences that result
from their use, our collaborative efforts can transform the
lives in our community and bring hope for the future.
