🔔 Important Disaster Relief Resources 🔔

If you or someone you know is in need of assistance after recent disasters, we've got you covered! Here are vital resources to help navigate relief efforts and find support:

🏢 Disaster Relief Centers (DRC) & Multi-Agency Resource Centers (MARC):
- DRCs include FEMA on-site, while MARCs offer state agency and community resources.
- In-person visits may be more effective than phone calls with FEMA.

Happy Juneteenth! 🌟

Today, we commemorate the end of slavery in the United States and honor the resilience, strength, and contributions of Black communities.

On June 19, 1865, news of freedom finally reached the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, marking a pivotal moment in American history.

Let's take this day to reflect on the past, educate ourselves on the journey towards freedom and equality, and continue advocating for justice and inclusivity. Together, we can build a future where every voice is heard and valued.

To all the Dads in our community, Happy Father’s Day! You make this world such a better place. Enjoy your day.
