MESSAGE FROM MAYOR KLING
Preventing a Crisis - Straight Talk on Youth Mental Health & Suicide

Recently, Canyon County has experienced youth deaths by suicide. Several organizations have come together to organize an adults-only community conversation, "Preventing a Crisis: Straight Talk on Youth Mental Health & Suicide." The event will be held TONIGHT (Wed., Dec. 15) at the NNU Brandt Center Auditorium from 6-8pm. The event will include a panel discussion, prevention and intervention resources and strategies. (See below flyer for more details.)

Every life is precious and one loss to suicide is too many. Please join me to hear from local experts and community members on this important topic tonight.

THANK YOU, VOLUNTEERS!
This time of year there is no shortage of generosity across our community. Thank you to the many volunteers who shared their time last week at the Idaho Food Bank's community food distribution at the Ford Idaho Center. Your time provided food to 784 households.

The City of Nampa has been partnering with the Idaho Food Bank since 2020 to help coordinate nearly monthly distributions. We have distributed approx. one million (1,000,000) pounds of food to the community!

It would not have been possible without MANY VOLUNTEERS!

Thank you!
