Community Programs and Events

Program/Event Details:
Safer firearm storage event highlighting suicide and unintentional injury prevention by providing education by multiple community partners. Families will receive a biometric firearm safe after completing the course.

The event occurred on Nov. 16, 2022 at the Greene County Fairgrounds. More than 200 people attended, we provided education through 8 learning stations, and 100 firearm safes were demonstrated and provided to families. We also provided 200 cable locks. We had 25 volunteers for this two hour event and created new partnerships in a county we've never worked with before. The senator and county commissioner of the region attended and have engaged us in future plans for activities.
