About Us

     The Pocahontas County Prevention Coalition was formed in February, 2006. The commonality that brought several community leaders together was the issue around preventing and reducing the use of drugs and alcohol. The Coalition was formed in response to these concerns, and to specifically address the drug/alcohol problem in Pocahontas County. As a result, these community leaders congregated additional stakeholders to find innovative solutions to address the issues and harms related to alcohol and other drug use among Pocahontas County's population. In February, 2007, Pocahontas County presented a comprehensive community prevention plan to the WV State Partnership and was subsequently awarded funding for implementation of a portion of the plan. This grant is being administrated through the Snowshoe Foundation in coordination with the Coalition.
