Revere CARES, a community coalition to fight substance abuse that is supported by the MGH Community Benefit Program and the MGH Revere HealthCare Center, recently received a grant from the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy and the U.S. Department of Justice under the Drug Free Communities Program. Revere was one of only three communities in the commonwealth to receive this endorsement.
