So proud of everyone who helped make this happen for Mississippi County! From state funding to local donations and in-kind support, a lot of hard work brought this vision to life. Helping families is our mission, and this strategic goal for the county was achieved—now, one year later, it’s making a real difference by supporting parents with childcare needs. Hats off to the amazing staff at the center who make it happen every single day!

Tomorrow is the DAY!! Get rid of those unused drugs!!

April 25th is National Drug Take Back Day!

This is the perfect opportunity for you to dispose of all your unwanted medications safely.

It's often seen that unused prescription drugs find their way into the wrong hands.
