Little Monsters, BIG Safety Tips!

Halloween is almost here, and Dunebrook wants all our little ghosts, goblins, princesses, and superheroes to have a safe and spooktacular night!

Before heading out for trick-or-treating, remember a few simple safety tips:

🔦 Be Seen: Carry a flashlight, use glow sticks, or wear reflective gear.

👻 Stay Together: Young children should always trick-or-treat with a trusted adult.

🚦 Cross Safely: Use sidewalks and crosswalks, and always watch for cars.

🍬 Check Treats: Look over Halloween goodies before digging in, and be mindful of choking hazards for little ones.

🚗 A Reminder for Drivers: Slow down and keep an extra eye out for excited trick-or-treaters!

From all of us at Dunebrook, we wish your family a safe, fun, and Happy Halloween!

Health Foundation of La Porte and LaPorte County La Porte County Public Library are doing amazing things for the community! Stop by the library today 10/20 to pick up your spaghetti dinner kit🍝❤

When a derecho hit La Porte County that Tuesday in August, our community came together when it mattered most. Many of you visited us at the Exchange to charge your devices, have a cup of coffee, and enjoy the A/C.

In recognition of those efforts, Health Foundation of La Porte gave the Library a grant that allows us to continue helping you. That means dinner is on us this Tuesday!

Stop by the Main Library's Garden on Tuesday, October 20 to pick up a shelf-stable spaghetti dinner kit for a family of four and add a few essentials back to your pantry. We'll be in the Garden starting at 9:00am. One bag per family, while supplies last.
