We are dedicated to empowering our community through accessible information and support. We offer free essential information-based resources and materials, including free print materials, along with safety and prevention tools like medication lock boxes and other safe storage solutions. We aim to create a more informed community that feels empowered and safe for each one of our neighbors.
Programming
We offer a range of programs designed to empower our community's well-being. These include free nutrition education curricula for youth, adults, or families, Responsible Beverage Server (RBS) training for employees, Narcan training, prevention education curricula for youth, and more. Join us in forging a healthier, happier community with the power of information!
Collaboration
We love to connect vital resources and information to those who need them and foster supportive partnerships. Our team recognizes community gatherings offer a unique space for connection, while our monthly partnership meetings encourage cooperative efforts for positive local change. Together, we strive to reduce stigma and build a safe, supportive and uplifting environment.
