Deerfield Valley Community Partnership received about $21,000 in Linkage to Care Enhancement Funding through the Vermont Department of Health Division of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Programs. The money is intended to support ongoing efforts that address overdoses through connections to evidence-based treatment and services for individuals at risk for overdose. Locally, that means the funding will go to Voices of Hope. “They have this incredible group of volunteers,” said Cindy Hayford, DVCP coordinator. “But you get to a point where you’ve got to have staff. This sets that foundation.”
