Talk to your family, ASAP! HCB2 is planning a new educational campaign to help combat the early age onset of colorectal cancer - we are tackling the complexity of “family history”. One’s family history is more than a checkbox. It is a story that requires deeper understanding.

AGE, STAGE, & POLYPS. Discovering the age and stage of a family member’s colorectal cancer diagnosis along with the number of polyps removed and the lab results of those polyps can save your life. We are here to help uncover your family history so you can give your medical provider the full story. Reach out [email protected]

"Virginia Fresh Match is excited to announce our Summer Special! Stretch your SNAP/EBT and SUN Bucks and support local farmers.
Now is a great time to shop for local produce! Fresh peaches, tomatoes, corn, peppers, blueberries and more are all in season in Virginia. Make your SUN Bucks and SNAP go further, and put more fresh, delicious food on the table!
How it works:
🍅At farmers markets, July 5-11, get a DOUBLE match for your SNAP. For example, spend $10 of SNAP, get $20 in extra tokens to spend on fruits, vegetables, and food-producing plants and seeds.
🍅 At grocery stores, farm stands, and mobile markets, get 75% OFF fruits and vegetables when you check out with SNAP.
