As we continue to experience severe winter weather, our priority is ensuring that every member of our community has the education, resources, and support needed to remain safe and warm during these conditions.

We also encourage everyone to look out for one another during this time. A simple check-in can make a meaningful difference, especially for elderly neighbors and older adults who may be living alone or have limited access to resources. Community care and awareness are essential during extreme weather, and together we can help ensure no one is left vulnerable.
