The date has changed for a lockbox giveaway to keep prescription drugs safe and will now be Monday at select Mahoning Valley Walgreens.

Valley businessman Mike Boccia, co-founder and chief executive of MedSafe Inc., has donated 50 medication lockboxes to Drug Free America Foundation’s campaign encouraging people to lock up their medications and keep kids safe.

Boccia donated $5,000 in MedSafes, the digital medication lockbox his company manufactures, after learning of “Operation: Medication Lockbox Giveaway” and the statistics of drug abuse locally. Select Walgreens locations will give away free lockboxes to the first customers with a new or transferred prescription. For information, www.LockboxGiveaway.com.
