Fresh raspberry season is wrapping up. Shorter days, colder nights, and the inevitable frost is coming. We've been absolutely blessed with beautiful weather this Fall, and the raspberries have been thriving.

Right now we have fresh red raspberries, freeze-dried raspberries, and raspberry jam. We are working on getting frozen red raspberries available, and should have them soon!

Our team had the opportunity to attend the Head Start Fall Assembly in Traverse City this past week! This gathering brought together members of the Head Start community for industry presentations, professional development, and valuable networking opportunities.

We’re grateful for opportunities like these that help our staff continue learning, share ideas, and strengthen the work we do to support children and families throughout Allegan County.

October is Energy Awareness Month! Today's Energy Saving Tip: Lighting

Switch to ENERGY STAR certified LED bulbs. They pay for themselves in savings, cutting energy use by at least 80%!

Check the color temperature and choose the one you like best (warm white is closest to traditional incandescents).

Keep bulbs clean. Dust can cut light output by as much as 25%.

Open curtains and make use of natural light from the sun when possible.

Our Weatherization team can shine a LIGHT on energy saving services that you may qualify for! Call 269-673-5472 ext. 238 or complete an interest form at https://ow.ly/fBSM50ZWmsE
