Parents learn about how alcohol affects families and engage in role-playing to build their advocacy skills. Child care during public meetings, provided by Healthy Start volunteers and staff. Transportation to and from meetings, donated by a local company. Translation of flyers and other materials. Ongoing support for outreach efforts.

In addition to continuing the struggle against alcohol outlets, PCS members got funding for walkie-talkies and safety vests and started walking children to school. There's a voice in the community. Before, there wasn't that voice.
