DJFS will be closed on Monday, January 6, 2025 due to the winter storm 🥶⛄️💙
As the temperature drops, let’s take care of ourselves and each other:
❄️ Dress in layers to keep the cold out; hats, gloves, scarves
❄️ Check on loved ones and neighbors, especially those that may need extra support
❄️ Drive slowly and safely if you must head out. Watch for icy roads and give yourself plenty of time.
❄️ Stay inside when you can and keep your pets warm too!
