Governor Christie Holds Press Conference at Catholic Charities
Governor Chris Christie announced the formation of a new task force to carry out addiction prevention and treatment initiatives at a press conference held at Catholic Charities, Diocese of Trenton on October 9.
He made the announcement and introduced the Task Force members after spending nearly an hour talking with staff and consumers at Catholic Charities’ Project FREE program. “Tonight when you go home, you tell your kids that they should be proud of you, your recovery is an inspiration to me and will be to so many others looking to change their lives,” Gov. Christie said to three women who credit their recovery to Project FREE.
