Get out and vote! Say YES to Issue 1 and support the County of Summit ADM Board. Here are all the amazing reasons why. Least of all, they are one of Greenleaf Family Center's biggest FUNDERS and PARTNERS, along with many other organizations like us in Summit County. They are essential to the health and well-being of this community.

Tomorrow is your last chance to get out and vote YES on Issue 1.

Here are some important things to know about Issue 1:

✔️ Renewal of 2.95 mill levy with a proposed .5 mill increase – the first increase the Board has sought in 18 years.
✔️ Costs the owner of a $100,000 home $6.25 per month – a decrease in the current monthly collection of around $7 per month.
✔️ Represents 77% of the ADM annual operating budget.
✔️ Funds prevention programs and effective treatment for those suffering from addiction and mental illness.
✔️ 93% of the ADM Board funding goes right back into the community.
✔️ Funds a 24/7 crisis hotline, 24/7 walk-in detox, recovery housing, prevention programs, mental health support, and addiction treatment.

Thank you for the opportunity! We're proud to stand with County of Summit ADM Board and Portage Path Behavioral Health

Last Friday, our team alongside providers from Portage Path Behavioral Health & Greenleaf Family Center connected with the community at the Akron Zoo ’s Senior Safari. Seniors enjoyed discounted admission, animal encounters, crafts, and so much more. It was a joy to provide resources, share smiles, and celebrate lifelong learning!

Later that evening, we were also at Kenmore First Friday hosted by Better Kenmore CDC sharing resources with the community. There is no photo this time, but the energy and connections were just as amazing!
