Thanks, Pickens Rotary

The City of Pickens Police Department would like to thank the Pickens Rotary Club for a donation of $1,000 dollars to purchase Narcan for their officers. The donation allowed for the purchase of 44 doses of Narcan, a life saving medication that can reverse an overdose from opioids, including heroin, fentanyl, and prescription opioid medications when given in time. PPD appreciates Rotary continued support and the work the club does in our community.
