BENNINGTON â Alliance for Community Transformations has received a new five-year, $125,000 grant, allowing its coalition to continue its work to prevent first-time youth substance use, decrease overall use, and help create a healthier Bennington.
The Drug-Free Communities Grant was awarded by the Office of the White House and Office of National Drug Control Policy. The DFC program is the leading national effort to empower local community groups to prevent and reduce youth misuse of substances like tobacco, alcohol, and cannabis.
ACT was first awarded the DFC grant in 2014.
âFrom substance misuse prevention education in our schools to targeted community initiatives, ACT is steadfast in our commitment to supporting youth in making healthy decisions. This grant enables us to expand our efforts in the region and grow as a community resource,â said ACT Director Dare Chammings in a news release.

The governorâs task force announced Friday that the beginning of the winter season for Vermont high school athletics will remain in the pause phase.
In the meantime, Southern Vermont athletic directors are attempting to stay a step ahead by splitting their basketball pool into four divisions.
Practices were originally scheduled to start Nov. 30, but that plan has been on hold since Nov. 24. A tentative Jan. 11 date for season openers has been in limbo for weeks as the state battles COVID-19 outbreaks. Athletes are typically required to participate in 10 practices before playing in a game, leaving not much time for that start date to become a reality.
