Drug Incinerator Needed for Lufkin, TX
Hi, my name is Taha Nazeer and I am a Life Scout from Troop 140 in Lufkin, TX. I am raising money for my Eagle Scout project, which is to install a prescription drug incinerator at the Angelina County Sheriff's Office.
There are many people, especially teens, in Angelina County who overdose on prescription drugs. To help address this problem, there’s currently a medication drop box at the Sheriff's Office where people can properly dispose of their unwanted or expired prescription drugs.
Once the drop box is filled up, those drugs must be taken to Houston to be incinerated. Currently, it can cost upwards of $2,250 each year to travel to Houston, so if the Sheriff’s Office gets an incinerator, it would greatly reduce costs for the county. This would not only aid Lufkin, but also other towns like Hudson, Huntington, and Zavalla.
Also, all donors will be acknowledged on a plaque at the Sheriff's Office based on the amount of money donated:
General Sponsor: Donates $1-$249
Silver Sponsor: $250-$499
Gold Sponsor: $500-$999
Platinum Sponsor: $1,000 or more
The project's total cost is around $5,650, so any contributions will be greatly beneficial. Your donation will benefit Angelina County for many years to come.
