Church members gave out Drug Free Marshals badges to children while traveling to different areas of the city in a van that promoted the U.N. anti-drug efforts and the Drug Free Marshal pledge that children take throughout the world www.drugfreemarshals.org/thepledg.htm

"Children had fun with their sheriff badges and the Drug Free Marshals Program does a great job in helping children to make a decision against taking illegal drugs," said Gerard Renna, spokesperson for the Boston Church. "Our Church’s Founder, L. Ron Hubbard, heavily researched the barriers to personal advancement and self-awareness that drugs create and we are very pleased to give back to society by assisting the United Nation’s important anti-drug effort."
