Get Involved

The Allston-Brighton Substance Abuse Task Force needs you!

There are many ways to get involved with our efforts to promote a healthier Allston-Brighton. Although we are a resource for the community, we consider the community one of our most essential resources! As a parent, resident, and/or business owner, the Task Force is looking for your good ideas to help us prevent and reduce substance abuse in Allston-Brighton. Please contact 617-789-2967 to see how you can help.
