This is how we do it on days like this one. Thank you to all our volunteers who stay at the building during bad storms so that we can have the quickest response times to those in need. Thank you to Jefferson Township Police Department and DPW who are out there tonight and shared a bevy of the snacks that were donated by our residents. And of course, thanks to all of you for the donations!

As the snow keeps falling and the world slows down, there are still people moving forward—showing up, standing strong, and putting others first. Tonight, we send extra prayers to the drivers navigating icy roads, the nurses caring for patients without rest, the linemen restoring power in brutal conditions, and every helper who steps into the storm so others can stay safe.

These are the moments that remind us what quiet courage looks like. Cold hands, tired eyes, heavy boots—yet hearts full of purpose. While many of us watch the snowfall from warm windows, they face it head-on, not for recognition, but because someone needs them.

May every prayer become protection. May every act of service return home safely. And may these heroes know how deeply they are appreciated, even by people they may never meet.

In storms like this, kindness shines brighter than the snow. 🙏❄️

Always a good reminder, never use your hands.

To safely clear a snowblower jam, immediately turn off the engine, disengage the clutch, and wait at least 10 seconds for all moving parts to stop. Never use your hands to clear the chute; instead, use a sturdy stick, broom handle, or dedicated clean-out tool to remove impacted snow.

Shovel smart and save your heart! Here we go. Our first "Kaboom" of the year. Be safe, everyone.

Well said.

Good evening everyone,

Our first responders who are actively on the road this evening are reporting very slippery and deteriorating road conditions across the area.

If being on the road is not part of your job description, we strongly encourage you to remain safely at home or complete your travel as soon as possible. Conditions are expected to continue to worsen as the evening and overnight hours progress.

Our bottom line is simple: we want everyone safe and preferably off the roads. We’d much rather you spend the evening at home than have to meet you out there under hazardous conditions.

Please use caution if travel is absolutely necessary, and stay safe.
