“We must do more to help address and prevent drug abuse from afflicting the young people in our community,” said Congresswoman Brownley. “I am pleased to announce that Chabad of Camarillo will receive this grant, which will go directly to helping young people in Ventura County make smart choices and prevent substance abuse, making our communities safer and healthier for everyone.”
