When it comes to getting help, the first step is almost always the hardest. It can feel almost impossible to know where to turn and even harder when you don’t know what resources are even available. That’s why we’re working to reduce barriers to getting help for families, children, veterans, students, and older adults in Douglas County through programs like FindHelp. By connecting people and organizations, we’re helping ensure that no matter if the first step isn’t in the right direction, you’ll get the help you need for an improved quality of life.
This program was able to be piloted through a LiveWell Douglas County Pathways to a Healthy Kansas grant, funded by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas , as well as partnerships with Lawrence-Douglas County Public Health , Heartland Community Health Center , and United Way of Kaw Valley . Huge thanks to them, as well at the over 30 organizations who are already participating in the program!

It's National 4-H Week! One of the things we love most about about 4-H is its ability to foster life-long friendships and relationships 🥰🍀Through clubs and project groups, youths are connected to like-minded peers, as well as cheerleaders for life through fair judges, club leaders, and other adult volunteers!
To honor that amazing impact, today's 4-H week theme is Friendship Bracelets! If you have someone you're grateful to have met through 4-H, share a bracelet! (and tag us if you take a photo, we want to see the cool stuff you make 👀)
Happy 4-H week everyone!
