A CALL TO THE HEART
|
It’s always time to be grateful.
Please join Making Every Day Count, Inc. in a call to the heart benefiting the children and families of the Palm Beach County Delinquency and Family Drug Courts. Because of the potential health risks, we have decided to forgo our annual fall luncheon and auction this year. During this uncertain time, our participants need help more than ever in navigating the road to sobriety and reunification with their families. While we will miss seeing our loyal friends this fall, we would be grateful for your continued support and generosity. |
Follow the link above to our A Call To The Heart 2020 donation and sponsors page.
This video highlights a few of the participants and how your donation impacts our mission.
It is because of you that there are smiles of success on their faces. Thank you!

"Drug courts transform lives by combining personal
responsibility and accountability." |
Community Impact
The impact of these drug courts is astonishing. Remarkably, 75% of Drug Court graduates remain arrest free, and the longest Drug Court study to date found reductions in crime last as long as 14 years. By comparison, only 30% of individuals released from prison never reoffend. At the same time, the average annual cost per prisoner in the traditional criminal justice system is $22,650. The average annual cost per Drug Court participant is $6,985. Drug Courts transform lives by combining personal responsibility and accountability. |
