💜 Ector County Purchasing Department Recognizes Su***de Prevention & Awareness Month

In procurement, we know the importance of having the right resources and support when they’re needed most. That same principle reaches far beyond the work we do every day.

This September, the Ector County Purchasing Department proudly supports Su***de Prevention & Awareness Month and the effort to connect people with hope, support, and resources.

Behind every purchase, every process, and every service are people — and people are our most valuable resource. 💜

Let’s continue looking out for one another, encouraging conversations, and reminding those around us that they are never alone.
