Yes, that’s a foot. And yes, it’s on our table🤢

Our booth displays are hands-on for a reason! This one shows what to***co does to circulation. Restricted blood flow to the hands and feet means less oxygen reaching the tissue, and eventually that tissue dies. That’s gangrene, and it’s one of the more common reasons long-term to***co users lose a limb😮

Come find us at our next community event and see the rest of the table!

Fish that eat mosquito larvae? Learned something new today 🐟 Big thanks to EBR Mosquito & Rodent Control for the live demo at Falling into Resources — and to EBR Schools for a free back-to-school fair full of family resources. Love seeing the community show up❤️

School’s back in full swing — how’s everyone holding up? 💛

Whether you’re a parent adjusting to new schedules or a teacher settling into a new group of students, the first few weeks back can bring a lot: new routines, new stress points, new wins worth celebrating too.

We want to hear from you:
👉 What’s feeling manageable so far?
👉 What’s been the hardest adjustment?
👉 What would make this school year easier — for you or your kids?

I CARE is here to support students, families, and educators through it all. Drop a comment or send us a message — we’re listening, and we’re building programming around what you actually need.
