On June 6th, over 140 attendees gathered to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Merrimack Valley Prevention and Substance Abuse Project (MVPASAP). Founded as a grassroots organization in 2013, it gained 501(c)3 status in 2015.
Co-founder Dr. Jenn Burns spoke first, followed by a discussion by Al Ruthazer on the intertwined growth of MVPASAP and Andover Cares. Massachusetts State Auditor Diana DiZoglio, a former Methuen State Representative during MVPASAP’s founding, also spoke, sharing her mother’s journey in long-term recovery from opioid addiction. Doug Griffin, honored by President Joe Biden at the 2023 State of the Union for his community safety efforts, attended with his wife Pam, joining DiZoglio and others. Griffin, a supporter of Andover Cares, remains a valuable resource for future initiatives.
We have an opportunity to re-vitalize Andover Cares and extend the impact of Andover Rotary into our community more, with more support of mental health, community wellness, substance abuse prevention and beyond.
