Due to the federal government shutdown, SNAP benefits will not be paid until the federal government provides funding for SNAP, and we are unable to begin the 2025-26 LIHEAP season.

For immediate needs during the shutdown, Pennsylvanians can use PA Navigate at pa-navigate.org to help find resources. Local help is also available by visiting pa211.org. For utility assistance, Pennsylvanians can search “utility assistance” at https://www.puc.pa.gov/ or contact their utility companies directly to see what programs are available.

Do you know Pennsylvania’s Good Samaritan Law? We have an infographic for it on our page, check it out!

If someone is experiencing alcohol poisoning, you can call 911 and you may be protected under that law.
Share this with the teens in your life!

If a night out takes a bad turn, don’t disappear. 💜

When someone shows signs of alcohol poisoning — confusion, vomiting, slow or irregular breathing, or can’t wake up — stay with them and call 911.

Under Pennsylvania’s Good Samaritan Law, if you’re under 21 and call for help, you can be protected from underage drinking charges — as long as you stay at the scene until help arrives.

Because being a good friend shouldn’t be scary. 👻

Did you know that YOU can be a CRS?
All you have to have is 18 months in recovery from drugs/alcohol, a desire to help others, and the ability to attend trainings.
CRS’s are people in recovery that help other people navigate recovery!

We couldn’t resist the — and the chance to highlight that Certified Recovery Specialists (CRSs) are the real-life superheroes of recovery, their invisible capes powered by the experience they carry and the empathy they share. 💥

Across Pennsylvania, CRSs are a vital part of our county drug and alcohol offices’ recovery support services — trained peers who guide and walk beside people on their recovery journey every day. 💜
