Local Lions Clubs partnered with the Juneau County Health Department with financial support to provide Juneau County 211 Resource guides to all of our Juneau County School Districts. A huge thank you to Kendall Lions Club, Mauston Lions, Necedah Lions, New Lisbon Lions Club and Wonewoc Area Lions Clubs. They say, where there is a need, there is a Lion. Resource guides were sent home with your children at the beginning of the school year. This resource provides a number of resources to include Food, Housing, Mental Health, Clothing, Insurance, and much more. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1O3iPsiMS9Ww8P1vR25hbkDG0J1f-SCOl/view (English) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cnxA_Hk5QEoa6xbYPq1LmWShgfQTpjvz/view (Spanish)

Each year on September 11, the National Day of Service and Remembrance reminds us of the power of service to heal and unite. The Medical Reserve Corps MRC, a network of nearly 300,000 volunteers nationwide, embodies that mission daily.
Whether staffing shelters, supporting blood drives, or offering crisis counseling, MRC volunteers are trusted extensions of local health and emergency systems. Their dedication shows that service is more than one day, it’s a lasting commitment to resilience.
