If you’ve got empty cans lying around and taking up space, let the IM SAFE CAC’s Youth Advocacy Council (YAC) put them to good use!

Throughout January, YAC members are collecting returnable cans and bottles to help fund their service project, which will be focused on supporting children in our community who are victims of abuse, raising awareness about child sexual abuse and sexual assault, and educating the community about the services we provide at the CAC.

Drop off your cans anytime, January 1st–31st, at one of these locations:
• Ionia High School – 250 E Tuttle Rd, Ionia, MI 48846
• B.C. Pizza of Stanton – 620 N State St, Stanton, MI 48888
• Portland United Methodist Church – 310 E Bridge St, Portland, MI 48875

Your donations help YAC members make a meaningful impact and support children in our community. Thank you for helping them turn small acts into big change! 💙

Here are some simple reminders to support your mental health this season:

✨ Accept Your Feelings: Acknowledge your emotions without judgment. Give yourself compassion to feel what comes up.

🛌 Maintain Healthy Habits: Prioritize sleep, exercise, and self-care.
