Heavy rain can leave standing water in yards, containers, tires, gutters, and other places around our homes. Even small amounts of water can provide mosquitoes with a place to breed. As mosquito activity increases, taking steps to prevent bites and reduce mosquito breeding becomes especially important.

SPRAY to protect yourself from mosquito bites.

COVER your skin and containers that hold water.

DRAIN standing water whenever it is safe to do so.

These simple actions can help reduce mosquitoes around your home and lower the opportunity for mosquito-borne illnesses such as dengue to spread.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness, celebrate survivors, honor those impacted by breast cancer, and stand alongside individuals and families throughout their journey.

About 1 in 8 women in the United States will develop invasive breast cancer during their lifetime, making awareness, education, and access to screening especially important.

At Feeding South Florida, we recognize that nutritious food plays an important role in overall health and well-being. For individuals and families navigating a breast cancer diagnosis or treatment, access to nourishing food can provide meaningful support while they balance medical care, transportation, household expenses, and other everyday costs.

This month, we encourage our community to prioritize their health, learn about risk factors, and speak with a healthcare provider about appropriate screenings because early detection can make a difference 💗

Together, we stand with survivors, caregivers, families, and everyone impacted by breast cancer as we work toward a healthier, stronger South Florida.

Pregnant? Remember to talk with your doctor or midwife about getting tested for group B strep (GBS) bacteria.

If you test positive between 36–37 weeks pregnant, antibiotics are recommended during labor and delivery to help protect your baby from serious infections.

A new report in CDC’s MMWR found that from 2020 through 2024, unsafe sleep practices were present in at least 3 in 4 sudden unexpected infant deaths (SUID) based on data from the SUID and Sudden Death in the Young Case Registry. Safe sleep practices can help reduce SUID risk. Always place babies to sleep on their backs, in a non-shared crib or bassinet, with no soft or loose bedding. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/75/wr/mm7535a1.htm
