💙 Tag a Hope Champion and share how they spread hope in our community.💙

Hope doesn’t wear a cape — it shows up every day.

It shows up in peers who walk beside others.
In families who refuse to give up.
In faith leaders, educators, first responders, advocates, and neighbors who choose compassion over judgment.

On Tennessee Day of Hope, we celebrate Hope Champions — the people who remind us that healing is possible and no one has to walk alone.

📢 ICARE Community Update!

Homes with youth 18 and under may receive an at-home medication disposal bag in the coming days. These bags were provided by the Union County Opioid Abatement Board and offer a safe, easy way to dispose of unwanted, unused, or expired prescription and over-the-counter medications right from home.

If you don’t receive one but would like one, just drop a comment below or visit the ICARE webpage https://www.icareunioncounty.com/ to request a free bag. 💙

If you receive a bag and don’t need it, please consider passing it along to a neighbor, friend, or family member who could use it.

Together, we can keep our homes and community safer. 🛡️💊
