Happy World Kindness Day! 💙

Strong communities are built on more than preparedness — they're built on people who care about one another.

Today, we encourage everyone to spread a little kindness, whether it's checking on a neighbor, lending a helping hand, supporting a local organization, or simply offering a smile.

Small acts of kindness can make a big difference, especially when we look out for one another.

Let's continue building a stronger, more caring, and more resilient community together!

Today, we honors the brave men and women who have served in our nation's Armed Forces. We are grateful for their courage, dedication, sacrifice, and commitment to protecting the freedoms we enjoy every day.

To all who have served and to those who continue to serve, thank you. Your service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Happy Veterans Day! ❤️🤍💙

Inspect Treats Before Eating. 🍬

Check all candy and treats before children eat them. Discard anything unwrapped, damaged, or suspicious, and be mindful of food allergies and choking hazards for younger children.

Keep Halloween Decorations Fire-Safe. 🕯️

Keep candles, jack-o'-lanterns with real flames, and other heat sources away from costumes and decorations. Use battery-operated lights when possible and keep walkways and exits clear.
