About Breakwater

In 2020, Winnebago County Drug and Alcohol Coalition (WCDAC) underwent a rebranding and is now known as Breakwater. The name Breakwater represents a collective effort between individuals to protect something they deeply care about, similar to how individual rocks come together to protect precious shorelines or property in the nautical world. In this case, Breakwater represents the combined effort of many individuals who share a deep care for our community and the people within it.
