We’re incredibly grateful to Senator Jimmy Higdon and Candy Massaroni for Nelson County, 50th District State Representative for joining us and speaking at this month’s NelCare Partners Meeting.

Thank you both for taking the time to listen, share insight, and engage in meaningful conversation around the work happening in Nelson County. Your support and accessibility truly matter to our partners and our community.

We appreciate your leadership and continued commitment to being part of the solution.

Great opportunity to clean out your medicine cabinet and dispose of unused meds safely.

If you're needing to clean out those medicine cabinets and ensure that dangerous/addictive medication is no longer a threat to your loved ones, this weekend is a great opportunity to purge those meds!

We will see you there!

So impressed with our guest speaker this month, Laken Blanford! 🌟 She founded The Resilience Project, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting children who have experienced trauma by providing scholarships for extracurricular activities. Such an inspiring mission and an incredible presentation — great job, Laken! 👏

Our community came together on August 31st for a Overdose Awareness Butterfly Release. While it’s never easy, these gatherings remind us of the power of connection, the importance of conversation, and the need to remember and honor those we’ve lost. 💜

Aug. 31 is International Overdose Awareness Day. Each year, NelCARE hosts a butterfly release in memory of those who have lost their lives to an overdose.
