National Nutrition Month Donation Campaign
Thank you to everyone who donated to the National Nutrition Month Donation Campaign! Throughout the donation campaign the Madison County Local Food Council has collected 442 food items and 831 cooking supplies. We are excited to start distributing items to WIC participants at MCPH, Madison County Food Pantry, H.E.L.P. House, and Mt. Sterling Community Center. The donations will help individuals and families who do not have access to healthy food options and provide them with the resources to prepare it.

Regardless of how you obtained it 🌿, it doesn’t belong behind the wheel. If you’re impaired by any substance, call a sober friend 😎, ride share 🚗, or taxi 🚕 to get home safely. If You Feel Different, You Drive Different.
This Halloween, pay extra attention for trick-or-treaters! Slow down and keep an eye out for children (and parents!) crossing the street . As always, be sure to avoid distractions such as loud music or your phone. #phonesdown#ClickItOrTicket

Phones Down

Halloween
Halloween is full of tales about haunted houses 😱️, spooky music 🎶, and frightening movies 😨.
Don’t turn the scares into real life dangers by getting behind the wheel after using drugs. If you
feel different, you drive different. #ImpairedDriving
Phones Down It's The Law
Anything that involves using, holding, or supporting a device while driving is ✨off limits✨. That means no texting, scrolling the internet, social media, games, etc. Hint: if it involves using your phone, you shouldn’t do it while driving. That’s the law.
