Drug-Free Marshals Help Raise Money For Needy Kids

San Francisco’s Drug-Free Marshals worked hard last weekend to raise money for a San Francisco Deputy Sheriff Association (SFDSA) charity drive.

On August 19th the SFDSA will hold a special back-to-school event for underprivileged kids. They will distribute more than 200 backpacks full of school supplies. The Drug-Free Marshals, who helped the SFDSA last Christmas with a similar charity drive, set out to help them this time by raising money for the program. They have also been invited to participate in the back-to-school event and help distribute the school supplies.

The Drug-Free Marshals sold homemade cookies to visitors at the street market at Justin Herman Plaza Saturday. They spread their message to "just say no" to harmful street drugs, to both adults and kids.

The Drug-Free Marshals is a national anti-drug education program sponsored by the Church of Scientology. It is aimed at kids as young as six, with the purpose of helping youth make the important decision to remain drug free and to assist family members and friends to make the same decision.

The kids had a ball putting on this event and they wanted to thank everyone who bought some cookies, or stopped by learn about their program.
