Kroger Display

Kroger Pharmacy #555 in Kenton, Ohio has taken the initiative to display brochures and posters for NIPAW. Kathleen Hilty is a technician working at the pharmacy who has given poison awareness talks for the past eight years.

After noticing the inhalant problem in the community, she added inhalant abuse to the discussions. In a letter to ACE, she mentions that,

"Children in our community were discovering this practice out of sheer 'boredom' and/or curiosity. Being a small town situated directly between major drug related cities, we have our share of problems. This program is very important to myself and our community and I will continute as long as I possible can."

This is another outstanding example of how individuals can really make a difference in their own communties. Great job, Kathleen!
