Thank you to the Topeka Fire Department for coming to the South Village Block Talk this evening!

Fire safety became a common conversation so having Chief Longstaff and Gill at our meeting to answer questions and help neighbors sign up for free smoke alarms was extremely helpful.

The meeting started with resources and information and ended with food, connection, and ideas for future meetings.

None of this would be possible without the neighbors who constantly put in time and effort to connect and build up their block talk, so thank you to the neighborhood for always showing up!

It is commonly found in:

Counterfeit pills

Methamphetamine
He**in

⚠️ Many people don’t know they’re taking it.

Awareness saves lives.
