The Neuse Riverkeeper Foundation expresses great appreciation to the residents of New Bern and Craven County who took the time and interest to bring 250 pounds of drugs to the Operation Medicine Drop held at Realo Drugs on Saturday. The presence of a police officer is required and we were blessed once again to have the help of Officer Shelton Brown. Volunteers gave generously of their time to make the river and local homes cleaner and safer. We are told by NCSAFE KIDSthat this amount of poundage translates into 125,000 doses of drugs. We hope to soon be able to install a drop box in the City of New Bern Police Department where drugs may be safely deposited no questions asked. We thank Chief Toussaint Summers for his genuine concern for our community and the support his officers give our youth. If you missed this dropoff be looking for another this spring.
