Project Sticker Shock Nov. 11

The Marshall County Anti-Drug Coalition is once again bringing Project Sticker Shock to Marshall County to address the continuing issue of youth access to alcohol.

Project Sticker Shock is an event designed to eliminate the sales of alcohol to adults who purchase alcohol for youth. Youth volunteers, with the help of their adult chaperones, place specially made stickers on alcoholic beverages to remind customers that it’s illegal to purchase or provide alcohol to minors.

Participating retailers are Greg's Market on Fourth Street and Jefferson Avenue in Moundsville and in Cameron; Dragon Mart in Cameron; Kroger in Moundsville and Benwood; Rite Aid in Moundsville; Butch's Corner in Sherrard; Jerry's Mini Mart in McMechen; Gumby's in Moundsville and Glen Dale; Speedway in Glen Dale; Limestone General Store; Wal-Mart Super Center Store #2852 in Moundsville; and Smith Oil in Moundsville.

The program, held annually in November, is in need of youth volunteers and adult chaperones from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 11, at local retail locations.

The event will wrap up with a “fiesta” at the Acapulco Restaurant on Route 2 in Moundsville from 11 a.m. to noon, where volunteers can enjoy lunch. To volunteer, please call Kimberli Green at (304) 845-3300 or email marshallcountysdfc@comcast.net.
