We are deeply grateful to the Jackson Township Fire Department, Stark County, Ohio for their generous donation of gun safety trigger locks. 🤍

Because of their support, we are able to offer free trigger locks to our families—please ask a staff member if you would like one.

Gun safety is a vital component of child wellness. Fi****ms are the leading cause of death for children and teens in the United States, and safe storage can save lives. We are committed to partnering with our community to help keep children and families safe, healthy, and protected.

Thank you, Jackson Fire Department, for standing with us in this important work.
