Did you satisfy a customer today?

Let's continue encouraging participants to complete this survey.

It is a great tool for us to determine where the gaps are, so we may do our part to fill them.

National Fresh Fruit and Veggies Month
"Romaine calm and Carrot on
to the Farmer's Market"


Fruits and veggies are a key part of an overall healthy eating plan - while remaining naturally low in calories, fat and sodium.

In addition, they lower your risk of developing certain chronic diseases — and help you maintain a healthy weight.

This guide includes great tips, resources, and recipes to help you add more color into your meals.
Live Better
It's Men's Health Month!
Men’s Health Month is an annual observance aimed at raising awareness of preventable health problems and encouraging early detection and treatment of disease among men and boys.

Did you know that men, on average, die almost five years earlier than women? Part of the reason is that men are more reluctant to go to the doctor.

It’s important to brush up on your health facts, listen to your body and be sure to get regular checkups. Not only will you live longer, you’ll have a better quality of life.

Hurricane Season Is Upon Us
Here are some helpful tips to prepare for the
2022 Hurricane Season:
  • Review your community’s hurricane risk level. The location of your home can determine potential wind and flood hazards.
  • Register for email updates from the National Weather Service and any available local alert systems to be aware of hurricane warnings or evacuation orders in your area.
  • Develop a hurricane response plan and practice it regularly with members of your household.
  • Prepare a hurricane kit with nonperishable food, water, medicine, emergency power sources, a first-aid kit and important documents.
  • Limit your home’s hurricane exposures by keeping drains and gutters clean, installing storm shutters on windows and doors and storing vehicles in a safe location.
  • Review your homeowners policy with your insurance professionals to ensure you will be covered in the event of a hurricane.
  • Secure and reinforce your roof, windows and doors, including garage doors.
  • Consider building a FEMA safe room designed for protection from high winds and flood waters.
  • Learn how and when to turn off gas, water and electricity.
