PEOPLE FOR DRUG FREE YOUTH IN NEW SMYRNA BEACH PUSHES LIFE CHOICES MESSAGE

NEW SMYRNA BEACH - It may be a job, but working at the People for Drug Free Youth's thrift store is also how Edgewater resident Judy Maman pays the community back for helping keep her son off drugs.

"He's been clean for several months now," said the 38-year-old assistant manager.

While she has only worked in the shop for three weeks, Maman said she has seen the benefit it provides to the community.  Those benefits have included partnering with another community group to help a needy family with clothes to helping a customer who may come up a little short when his or her shopping list is totaled up.
