🔒There are many ways you can help keep your community safe from gun violence. Michigan law requires gun owners to keep fi****ms in a locked container or unloaded and locked with a locking device when children may be in the home.
🔒Stop by any of our office locations for a free cable-style gun lock.
📲Anyone who learns about a potential threat to student safety can contact the confidential OK2SAY tip line.
📲And if you’re worried about a loved one who’s at risk of hurting themselves or others, you can file an Extreme Risk Protection Order, or ERPO, to temporarily remove their access to guns at firearminjury.umich.edu/mi-erpo-filing.

September is Whole Grain Month🌾🍞 Whole grains are packed with nutrients that fuel your family's growth! Unlike refined grains, whole grains keep the entire grain kernel—giving you more fiber, B vitamins, and minerals to keep you feeling full and energized.

Your WIC benefits cover whole grains like whole-wheat bread, brown rice, oats, corn tortillas, whole-grain pasta, and more! Talk to your WIC dietitian for more information and for easy ways to include whole grains in your family’s diet.
