Get those old prescription drugs out of your life. Our community health center, The Chautauqua Center, is part of National Prescription Drug Takeback day, organized by our friends at HOPE Chautauqua and New York State and local law enforcement.

National Drug Take Back Day is almost here - and you can conveniently dispose of your unused or expired medications at The Chautauqua Center's Jamestown location! 💊

Thanks to the efforts of our local partners HOPE Chautauqua Coalition, the United States Drug Enforcement Administration, and local police agencies, our Waterfront Pharmacy is once again an official drop-off location for this year’s nationwide initiative to safely dispose of unused and expired medications.

Disposing of these medications in a safe way helps prevent misuse, accidental ingestion, and helps protect our communities.

Make a trip to TCC Jamestown NEXT SATURDAY, located at 107 Institute Street, to be a part of this important effort to keep our community safe and your cupboards clear.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. famously said, "Philanthropy is commendable, but it must not cause the philanthropist to overlook the circumstances of economic injustice which make philanthropy necessary."

At The Waterfront Foundation we don't just want to support The Chautauqua Center in its mission to treat illness; we want to address the inequities that make our community sick in the first place.

Our federally qualified health center stands on the front lines, ensuring that poverty is not a barrier to quality healthcare. Your support acts as the bride, providing the resources needed care today, while we advocate for a more just tomorrow.

Holiday finances, am I right? 😱 Southern Chautauqua Federal Credit Union (SCFCU) presented The Chautauqua Center staff and members of Work Well CHQ (WWCHQ) with some strategies for surviving holiday shopping.
