Last year, The OSU Extension of Washington County sponsored a school based Farmers Market. The market focused on encouraging students and parents to buy produce locally and increase the consumption and awareness of fruits and vegetables by our youth. The goal of the Junior Farmers Market was to give students an opportunity to experience the fun and excitement of a farmer's market and associate it with fruits and vegetables with the hope of establishing long-term healthy consumers who buy their produce locally.
The SHF staff was proud to be part of the City Park Pool and Splash Pad Grand Opening and Dedication last Thursday, May 31. We are proud to be part of a collaboration that enhances the quality of life for the local community.
Come to the Pop Up Market sponsored by Faithlink and Community Resources on June 5th at the parking lot at 1037 Market Street from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. SNAP, credit, debit, and cash accepted. See the flyer below for future market dates.

Last year, the Pilot Club of Jackson County provided reduced cost dental services to nine individuals through SHF funding. They served a veteran with PTSD with needed dentures. They also provided dentures for a young lady that now has improved employability and increased self-esteem. A young student, with the aid of braces, is now able to close his teeth and chew normally. All thanks to the Dental Program of the Pilot Club of Jackson County.
Just a gentle reminder for all of us to purposefully pause and pay attention throughout our day.
