SAFETY SATURDAY

Lung Cancer Awareness Month is a vital time to highlight the impact of the world’s deadliest cancer and to remind communities about the power of early detection and education. Knowing the signs and symptoms, understanding personal risk factors—such as smoking history or exposure to toxins—and seeking regular screenings when appropriate can significantly improve outcomes. By raising awareness and encouraging open conversations, we can help more people catch lung cancer at earlier, more treatable stages and support those affected by the disease.

This week, instead of our usual Safety Saturday post, we’re reaching out for a little help from our wonderful community. 💕

Some local schools have shared that they’re in need of children’s clothes (sizes 4–10 for both boys and girls). These items go to students who may need a change of clothes for the weather—or after life’s little spills and accidents.

If you’d like to help, we’ll have a donation box in our lobby. You can drop items off Monday through Friday, from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM.

Thank you for helping keep our community’s kids warm, comfy, and cared for! 🧥👕👖

It’s easy. It’s simple. It will help save lives. Two very straight forward actions to take as the person behind the wheel to help keep our roads safe: Buckle up, phone down. We are proud to join the Missouri Department of Transportation and other state DOTs in sharing this important message.

SAFETY SATURDAY

When someone you care about is diagnosed with breast cancer, it can be an emotional and challenging time for everyone involved. Showing your support doesn’t have to be complicated—sometimes, the smallest gestures mean the most. A thoughtful message to check in, organizing a meal train, or helping with errands or prescriptions can all bring comfort and relief.

There are also several local support groups around the Lake area for both men and women, offering connection and understanding during this journey. You may not be able to do everything, but your presence, compassion, and willingness to help can make a meaningful difference.

Visit https://www.nationalbreastcancer.org to view their "Wall of Support" to find uplifting messages from other breast cancer survivors and leave one of your own!
