PUBLIC AND PRIVATE DONATIONS, THAT HAVE BEEN MADE TO SUN STREET CENTER’S SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION CENTER IN SALINAS, WILL KEEP THE PROGRAM AFLOAT FOR ANOTHER YEAR. THAT AFTER ORGANIZERS THOUGHT THEY WOULD HAVE TO SHUT DOWN (DUE TO A LACK OF FEDERAL FUNDING). THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE PROGRAM HOPES THAT BY THE TIME THE LOCAL DONATIONS RUN OUT, SHE WILL HAVE SECURED A NEW FEDERAL GRANT. THE PREVENTION PROGRAM SENDS PEOPLE INTO MANY SALINAS SCHOOLS, TO TEACH STUDENTS ABOUT THE DANGERS OF DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE.
