The Mena office has been buzzing with activity! We kicked off Firefighter Appreciation Week and Fire Prevention & Safety Day with homemade goodies and big hearts. Huge thanks to our local heroes at Mena and Vandervoort Rural Fire Departments for helping our clients get winter-ready! 🔥❄️

We’ve applied for new smoke and carbon monoxide detectors for homes in need, and our amazing aides deserve a shoutout for reporting safety concerns. We’re even turning this into an annual safety drill—because we like our bases covered! ✅

Today, we’re spreading more love with our “Our Heart Is in Your Home” Happy Harvest Baskets—packed with pumpkin rolls, donut holes, apples, breads, jams, and more! 🍎🍩🎁 Special thanks (and a homemade butterscotch meringue pie with pecan crust 🥧) go to Hometown Health and the VA for all the referrals this month. We appreciate you!

It takes a village—and a little good weather! 💛
