Rules of the Road for the New School Year
School is back in session, and traffic patterns have changed almost overnight. School buses are out and about, children are walking or riding bicycles to school, and parents and teen drivers fill parking lots and drop-off lanes. Here are some important reminders to keep kids safe >
When severe weather strikes, knowing what to do can make all the difference. Tornadoes and dangerous storms can develop quickly, leaving little time to decide where to go or how to protect your family.
Take time now to identify a safe place to shelter, prepare emergency supplies, and make sure everyone in your household knows the plan. Being prepared before a warning is issued can help save lives.

Did you know your family can receive both SNAP and WIC benefits?
If your household receives SNAP, your children under age 5 may also benefit from WIC's nutritious foods, nutrition education, and other helpful services.
You don't have to choose between SNAP and WIC! Both programs can help support your family's nutritional needs.
