Faith in Action - Opportunity Knocks!
 Each year 8,000 to 10,000 youth enter Montgomery County Juvenile Court. Between 60-80% of them are likely to be involved with drugs and alcohol. Yet most are not gettin the help they need to break the addiction of drugs, alcohol and crime. Without help, they can end up in a cycle of drugs, alcohol and crime.
