Project Sticker Shock is a community awareness campaign sponsored by the Addison County Substance Use & Prevention Coalition that aims to prevent minors from obtaining alcohol from adults 21 and older or using a fake ID to purchase alcohol. The campaign takes place in October, National Youth Substance Use Prevention Month.
Earlier this week, Bristol CORE and The Bristol Hub - Teen Center & Skatepark teamed up with the Coalition to spread the message about this campaign by posting stickers on alcohol products in Champlain Farms and Bristol Beverage and Redemption.
"We're incredibly grateful to these retailers for supporting this campaign," said Celia Heath, UWAC's Public Health Grant Manager. "Their commitment to keeping the youth in our community safe is exactly what our Coalition hopes to accomplish: by engaging partners across all sectors, we are helping to improve the health of Addison County."
