Ticks can be THIS TINY 🤯🤯

Even the smallest ticks can cause big problems, having the potential to spread a multitude of diseases to humans. As the weather warms up, you may begin seeing ticks in grassy or wooded areas. Protect yourself by using bug repellent, wearing long sleeves and pants in wooded areas, and checking for ticks after being outside.

Bluffton Residents — Your Voice Matters!

The City of Bluffton was so close to bringing $350,000 into our community for owner-occupied home repairs through the OOR Grant — missing the cutoff by just 0.4 points. Public participation is a key factor in strengthening our next grant application, and your input can make the difference.

We are hosting a Public Information Meeting to:

✅Share details about the Owner-Occupied Repair (OOR) Grant

✅Explain how these funds could help qualified homeowners within the City of Bluffton with major repairs

✅Gather valuable public feedback to strengthen our grant resubmission

🗓January 15

⏰6:00 PM

📍Wells County Dream Center

112 S Main St, Bluffton

If you own and live in your home and need repairs such as roofing, plumbing, HVAC/heating, or accessibility improvements — or if you simply want to support programs that benefit our community — please attend.

Your presence and participation truly matter. Let’s work together to bring this funding home to Bluffton! 💚
