Kindness is medicine, no prescription needed.

Holding the door, sharing a smile, giving a complement, or lending a hand. These small acts have the power to create social connection, release feel-good hormones, lower stress and anxiety, and support other aspects of health.

Be kind to humankind, it's the healthiest habit you can have.

AMERICAN RED CROSS SHELTER TRAINING COMING TO ELKHART

Whether you have experience in emergency response, loads of free time, a willingness to volunteer or simply just an interest in helping your community during a disaster, please make plans to attend an American Red Cross Emergency Shelter Training coming to Elkhart in September.

Our neighboring communities and friends are welcome to attend as well, to take back valuable information and ideas to their own communities.

When disaster strikes, having a strong network of people and community partners to call on can make a big difference. These collaborations and training opportunities help us be better prepared to support one another during an emergency while waiting for additional resources and assistance to arrive.

RSVPs will be needed as lunch will be offered, so mark your calendar and watch for additional details coming closer to the date. We’d love to have you join us!
