Watch Your Step—Safety Starts From the Ground Up 👣
As National Safety Month wraps up, we’re focusing on preventing one of the most common causes of injury: slips, trips, and falls. These incidents can happen anywhere—but they’re often preventable with a little awareness and action.
⚠️ Clean up spills right away
⚠️ Keep walkways clear and well-lit
⚠️ Wear proper footwear
⚠️ Stay alert to your surroundings
Small steps can make a big impact in keeping yourself—and others—safe.

The benefits of having a great dad are countless.

A study of the AmeriCorps Foster Grandparent and Senior Companion programs showed that BEING a great father figure is also invaluable.

Happy Father's Day to these superheroes [who sometimes wear a cape and an AmeriCorps 🅰️].
