Not every day will be filled with big accomplishments, and that’s okay. Sometimes success is simply showing up, giving your best effort, and making someone’s day a little better.

Remember, even the smallest acts of kindness, encouragement, and compassion can have a lasting impact.

Be proud of your progress, appreciate the good around you, and remember that tomorrow brings another opportunity to grow.

💪 Today’s Mindset: Progress over perfection. Gratitude over frustration. Kindness in everything you do.

Today's Positive Vibes

“Your energy introduces you before you even speak. Make sure it's the kind of energy you want to attract.”

You can't control everything that happens around you, but you can control the attitude and energy you bring into each situation. Stay positive, be grateful, and don't let someone else's negativity steal your peace.

Wednesday at Daily Church (Dix/King)

Residents and motorists in the area may notice an increased police presence and additional police vehicles during the training. There is no emergency and no cause for concern.

Training exercises like this help our officers remain prepared and ready to serve our community.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

💙 911 READY BAGS FOR WOODHAVEN FIRST RESPONDERS 💙

The Woodhaven Police and Fire Departments would like to extend a sincere THANK YOU to Mimi’s Mission and Ford Philanthropy for their generous donation of 50 911 Ready Bags to our first responders!

🚓 25 bags were donated to the Woodhaven Police Department
🚒 25 bags were donated to the Woodhaven Fire Department

Deputy Police Chief Adam Ruffner, Sgt. Ron Wise, and Officer Eddie Cach, along with Fire Chief Brad Myles and Deputy Fire Chief Chris Davenport, were on hand to accept the 911 Ready Bags on behalf of the Woodhaven Police and Fire Departments.

The 911 Ready Bags are specially designed to provide first responders with sensory and comfort tools when interacting with individuals with autism, particularly during stressful or overwhelming situations. Having these resources readily available can help reduce anxiety, improve communication, build trust, and create a safer and more positive interaction for everyone involved.

We are extremely grateful to Mimi's Mission Lisa Villela) for her/their dedication to the autism community and to Ford Philanthropy and its volunteers, who recently helped assemble these bags for first responders.

These bags will be placed directly into the hands of Woodhaven Police and Fire personnel, providing another valuable resource to help us better serve individuals with autism and their families.

Thank you, Mimi’s Mission and Ford Philanthropy, for your generosity, your partnership, and your continued commitment to our first responders and the community we proudly serve! 💙
