We would like to thank the Lincoln Community Foundation for its generous support of Granite Wellness Centers.
Last week, Kris Knutson, President of the Lincoln Community Foundation, visited our Lincoln facility to learn more about our programs and current needs, and was welcomed by Irma Moraga, our Lincoln Programs Manager, who shared current program needs and priorities. Following that visit, the Foundation quickly approved a grant to strengthen our instructional capacity at the Lincoln site.
This funding will directly benefit 500+ adults each year who are enrolled in education, court-mandated programs, and group therapeutic services at Granite Wellness Centers’ Lincoln facility, as well as clients from nearby communities who receive services at this location. At the community level, Lincoln residents will benefit because increased access to evidence-based education and recovery supports contributes to a healthier, more resilient community.
Next, we plan to collaborate on updating the clinical component of our services. We look forward to continuing this collaboration through future community-focused projects.
The Lincoln Community Foundation has been investing in the Lincoln community through grants since 2005 to create positive, lasting change. Learn more about their work: https://lincolncommunityfoundation.org/

DEA National Prescription Drug Take Back Day - October 25, 2025, 10AM to 2PM
The DEA’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day is a nationwide effort to help people safely dispose of unused, unwanted, or expired medications. Hosted with thousands of law enforcement partners, the event offers free, anonymous drop-off sites so medicines don’t end up misused, diverted, or flushed into waterways. You’ll find official event materials and background on the DEA’s site: https://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/drug_disposal/takeback/takeback.html
•
Why this day matters
Removing old medications from homes reduces opportunities for misuse and accidental poisonings. In the most recent spring event on April 26, 2025, partners collected more than 620,000 pounds of medications, bringing the cumulative total since the program began to nearly 19.8 million pounds safely removed from circulation.
•
What you can bring
Event sites accept most medicines in solid form, including:
•Tablets, capsules, and patches
•Many over-the-counter medications
•Vaping devices and cartridges, if lithium batteries are removed
•Liquids (like cough syrup) may be accepted at some sites if they remain tightly sealed in original containers. Syringes/needles (sharps) and illicit substances are not accepted. Always check your specific site’s rules before you go.
•
How to participate
1. Use the DEA’s official locator and search by ZIP code or city/state. https://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/drug_disposal/takeback/takeback.html
2. Keep medicines in a sealed bag or original container. If desired, cover personal info on labels. Site staff will direct you where to drop items. Guidance and event resources are available on the DEA Take Back Day page.

October is Substance Use and Misuse Prevention Month. This is a time to focus on what keeps our communities healthy and safe: teaching skills early, supporting parents and caregivers, building positive school climates, and expanding healthy activities for youth.

At Granite Wellness Centers, we recognize that substance use affects every part of our community: families, schools, workplaces, and local budgets. We also know that prevention works. Evidence-based programs such as LifeSkills Training help young people build coping skills, delay first use, and reduce harm. These programs don’t just change lives; they save money. For every $1 invested, LifeSkills Training returns an estimated $16 in benefits through reduced health care, justice system, and social costs.

Granite Wellness Centers supports the Coalition for Auburn and Lincoln Youth, CALY, a local team dedicated to preventing youth substance use and creating safer environments for young people. Learn more and get involved: https://www.raisingplacer.org/caly/
If your school, workplace, or community group would like a prevention presentation or resources, contact CALY. Together, we can strengthen protective factors, reduce harm, and help our youth thrive.
