🚲 Happy World Bicycle Day! 🌎💚

Today, we’re celebrating the joy of movement, the benefits of active transportation, and the positive impact biking can have on both physical and mental health.

Whether you ride for transportation, fitness, stress relief, or simply for fun, every ride is a step toward a healthier lifestyle and a healthier planet. 🌱🚴‍♀️

Fun fact from Gina Sims: "You can rent a secure bike locker on campus at Chico State for just $30 a semester! It’s way cheaper than a parking pass, and it makes it easier to choose biking, knowing the bike is safe.

New Food Bank!!!! 😍😍😍

The Grand Opening is from 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM, with the Corning Chamber's Ribbon-cutting taking place at 10:30AM.

Join us in celebrating the North Valley Community's new Food Bank during their Grand Opening from 10AM - 12PM, with the Chamber Ribbon-cutting at 10:30AM, as they open their new (RDO) Redistribution Center serving partner agencies, and feeding those in need in the North Valley of California, including Colusa, Glenn and Tehama Counties.

The North Valley Community Food Bank collaborates closely with local communities to ensure everyone has access to nutritious foods.

They actively solicit, receive, store, and distribute fresh produce and pantry staples to those in need. Beyond providing food, they connect individuals to other essential benefits and services, serving as a vital community hub for volunteers.

Their food bank operates with the principles of client choice, dignity, respect, and a deep appreciation for the diverse communities they serve.

This series is designed for parents, caregivers, those working with teens, and who have them in their lives. Growing a strong, steady relationship with today's teens doesn’t come from bigger reactions—it comes from better habits. The kind of small, intentional shifts James Clear's book Atomic Habits made famous—simple changes that create lasting impact with time. Over eight weeks, we’ll take a focused journey together—parents and professionals alike—learning how to make those shifts in real time, inside real relationships with teens. This is where insight turns in practice, and practice turns into trust. Are you ready to change how you show up—and transform your connection with teens?
