Putting food on the table shouldn’t mean choosing between groceries and other essentials.

Washington’s Basic Food program, also known as SNAP, helps eligible individuals and families afford nutritious food each month. A quick eligibility screening can help you find out if you may qualify for support.

Almost 6 in 10 adolescent girls report experiencing unwanted or uncomfortable contact from strangers on social media.

Being online isn’t just about screen time. It’s also about safety. Talk with the young people in your life about setting boundaries, recognizing uncomfortable interactions, and knowing when to step away.

Creating healthier digital habits starts with making space for real conversations.

The words we choose matter.

Body shaming doesn't encourage healthy change. It can damage self-esteem, increase stress, and create barriers to both physical and mental well-being. A kind word or supportive conversation can have a far greater impact than criticism ever will.

Let's build a community where people feel encouraged, respected, and supported on their health journey.

Staying active starts with staying safe.

September 21 through 25 is Falls Prevention Awareness Week, a national observance dedicated to raising awareness about falls, reducing fall risks, and helping older adults stay safe, independent, and confident in their daily lives.

Whether it's making small changes around the home, staying physically active, or learning about fall prevention strategies, taking action today can help prevent injuries tomorrow.

It’s easy to make assumptions about someone based on what we see. It takes more to recognize the person and the story we may not know.

Choosing to listen, stay open, and approach others with understanding can change the way we connect with one another. When more people feel seen and valued, we build a stronger and more compassionate Columbia County.

See the person, not just their circumstances. Put Humanity First.
