?? Today, we were honored to host Lt. Gov. Jon Husted at Children Services for a heartfelt adoption roundtable with parents and staff. The Lt. Gov. shared his inspiring journey—from foster care to being adopted—reminding us all of the life-changing power of family. ?? This special event was part of National Adoption Month. Remember, you don’t have to be a perfect parent to change a child’s life—just someone willing to open your heart and home to a child in need.

Create an Emergency Plan: Include everyone in your household, including pets, babies, children, older adults and those with special needs. 2?? Build an Emergency Kit: Have a "go-kit" for your home and vehicles, stocked with supplies for power outages or if you need to leave quickly. 3??

??Montgomery County is turning its Administration Building lights orange this week to recognize Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week (HHAW).?? More than 5,000 people in our community spent at least one night in a shelter last year, and 1 in 6 people in the Miami Valley don't know where their next meal will come from. These are more than just numbers—they are our neighbors, our friends and our families. No one should have to worry about whether they will have food on their plate or a roof over their head.
