Drug court collecting food
The Clark County Drug Treatment Court Program will sponsor a food drive and cornhole tournament from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 20 on the front lawn of the Clark County Building, 501 E. Court Ave., Jeffersonville.
The food drive will be the first sponsored by the treatment program. The court wants to increase public awareness and give back to the community.
Participants are asked to donate nonperishable items, which will be given to the area food bank. For each item donated, the individual will receive four tosses at the cornhole board. The person with the most points at the end of the day will win a prize.
The program was established by Judge Cecile Blau in 2002 as a division of Clark County Superior Court No. 2 and probation services. The program is only one of 25 adult drug treatment courts in the state and certified directly by the Indiana Supreme Court.
The court has provided rehabilitative services to more than 100 substance abuse offenders while their cases remain pending in Superior Court.
If anyone is interested in being a volunteer or donating a prize to be awarded, contact the court at 812-285-6333. You may also ask for more information about the advisory board that meets quarterly.

New to You moving across the street
New To You, New Hope Services, Inc.’s thrift store and donation center, is moving across Lewis and Clark Parkway in Clarksville so it can expand, a news release says.
The store, which has eight employees, will open Sunday, with a grand opening event set for Nov. 21.
Originally opened in 2007, New To You has outgrown the space it has occupied for the past 21/2 years.
“The success of this venture has made it necessary for us to look for additional space,” said John Broady, vice president and chief financial officer, in the release. “We love where we are and think our customers will appreciate the fact that we are staying in the same area, but we were in a position where the space we had just wasn’t adequate.”
New To You will be moving to the building formerly occupied by Pier One, just across the street. The new address is 1200 Lewis and Clark Parkway. The showroom will be larger.
For more specific information, call 812-206-2641. The current location closed Wednesday.
