June is National Healthy Homes Month
This year's theme is "Growing Up Safe and Healthy: 5 Minutes to a Healthy Home!"  As we head into summer, take 5 minutes to assess if you have a safe home for your children and those living in your home. You could potentially be exposing them to lead poisoning, allergens, carbon monoxide, and other hazards.

 For more information on how to create a healthy home, visit the US Department of Housing and Urban Development website link below:  

Free radon kits is available at the extension office. Limited amount of supply is available so call our office at 828-632-3125 to get your free kit today.
