Every young person deserves the chance to build a healthy, hopeful future. This Red Ribbon Week, I encourage Marylanders to talk with the young people in their lives about the risks of drug use and remind them that support is always within reach. By listening, building trust, and making prevention a shared responsibility, we can help our youth make informed choices and pursue their dreams.

We've announced our largest investment yet through ENOUGH Initiative grants, with funds going to 30 communities in 13 counties across the state. In Frederick alone, ENOUGH funding has provided free vision screenings to over 1,000 students and delivered nearly 8,000 pounds of fresh food to local families through mobile produce markets. By working in partnership, we're empowering communities and surging record resources directly to the neighborhoods that need them most. Every dollar we've invested has leveraged an additional four more from state agencies and philanthropic partners. As Maryland moves forward, we will leave no one behind. fredericknewspost.com/news/e…
