A Small Donation. A BIG Difference.

What if just $5 could help feed a child on the weekends?

For many children in our community, the meals they receive at school are their most reliable source of food. When Friday afternoon arrives, some head home to empty pantries.
That's why the Coffee County Food Bank's Weekend Bag Program exists.
Each week, we send food home with children facing food insecurity so they have something to eat until they return to school.

💙 Right now, we have an immediate need for:
🍜 Ramen Noodles�🍓 Pop-Tarts
You can help in one of two ways:

🛒 Drop off donations of ramen noodles and Pop-Tarts during our regular opening hours.

OR

💲 Donate just $5—that's enough to provide the items shown in this month's weekend bag for one child.

📲 Simply scan the QR code on this post to give. (Or click the link below 👇)

https://www.paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=VBD9FUMFUFG68&source=url&ssrt=1785585735136

Every package of ramen...�Every box of Pop-Tarts...�Every $5 gift...
..helps remind a child that our community cares.

Together, we can make sure no child has to face the weekend hungry.

❤️ Help us fill more Weekend Bags—one child, one family, one act of kindness at a time.

I have attended CPR classes over the years, but was never told this particular scenario. I was told that when your body starts sweating profusely for no apparent reason followed by what feels like a spasm at the end of your esophagus, that is your body’s warning sign.

When you are alone and have a heart attack, what are you gonna do? A really good post that can't be shared often enough:

1. Take a 2 minute break and read this:
Let's say it's 5:25 pm and you're driving home after an unusually hard day's work.

2. You are really tired and frustrated.
All of a sudden you experience chest pains. They are starting to radiate in the arm and jaw. It feels like being stabbed in the chest and heart. You're only a few miles away from the nearest hospital or home.

3. Unfortunately you don't know if you can make it.

4. Maybe you've taken CPR training, but the person running the course hasn't told you how to help yourself.

5. How do you survive a heart attack when you're alone when it happens? A person who is feeling weak and whose heart is beating hard has only about 10 seconds before losing consciousness.

6. But you can help yourself by coughing repeatedly and very strongly! Deep breaths before every cough. Coughing should be repeated every second until you arrive at the hospital or until your heart starts to beat normally.

7. Deep breathing gives oxygen to your lungs and coughing movements boost the heart and blood circulation. Heart pressure also helps to restore a normal heartbeat. That’s how cardiac arrest victims can make it to the hospital for the right treatment.

8. Cardiologists say if someone gets this message and passes it on to 10 people, we can expect to save at least one life.

9. FOR WOMEN: You should know that women have additional and different symptoms. Rarely having crushing chest pain or pain in the arms. Often have indigestion and tightness across the back at the bra line plus sudden fatigue.

Instead of posting jokes, you're helping save lives by spreading this message. 👍🏼
