Kim Clardy – Coordinator for the Lamb County Drug Free Community Grant

The Drug Free Community Grant is a grant written for and awarded to Lamb County Llano Estacado Alliance for Families (LEAF) - a collaboration of multiple counties in the Central Plains Center catchment area (the local mental health authority) working towards a common goal to improve mental health in our area. The grant was written for Our Place and Lamb County Juvenile Probation Department. 

The Drug Free Community grant is designed to help Lamb County work towards a drug-free lifestyle and healthier view on youth and their use of any type of drugs - alcohol, tobacco, (vaping) and marijuana are the major focus. Educating the community, youth, families and developing a coalition to work towards this goal are key to a healthier and happier lifestyle. With the help of the community, we can make a change! If you are interested in becoming a part of this important Coalition, please contact
