Proper disposal of medications keeps drugs out of the environment, so thanks to all who took part!

November FoodShare benefits update: Full benefits are now available!
From Wisconsin Department of Health Services:
🔸Full November FoodShare benefits are now available on all QUEST cards.
🔸FoodShare members will get full benefits instead of partial benefits because of lawsuits brought against the federal government by Wisconsin and other states, municipalities, and nonprofits.
🔸Updates about other state programs: WIC benefits are available throughout November. Other state programs like BadgerCare Plus, Medicaid, and SeniorCare are not impacted by the shutdown.
