The Louisiana State Police (in conjunction with the Drug Enforcement Administration) will participate in the National Prescription Drug Take Back Day on Saturday in an effort to help local residents rid their homes of potentially dangerous prescription drugs.

Expired, unused, and unwanted medications may be brought for disposal from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday to the Louisiana State Police troop location nearest you. This service is free and anonymous and is a great opportunity for those who have accumulated unwanted or unused prescription drugs to dispose of them safely.

During the entire month of April, Shreveport residents are in a race to secure grants to help fight hunger locally. The contest involves rallying the community to go online and vote for the Northwest Louisiana Food Bank to share part of a $3 million grant to help fund hunger relief programs.
