Please consider participating on Tax Free weekend (August 6-8) at Walmart in Gloucester. The Salvation Army is collecting school supplies all weekend for those in need.

Can’t make it to the event? Consider dropping off the items directly to the Salvation Army during their normal business hours. Please review the attached list of most needed supplies.

This week, they’ll conclude their replay of previous posts on well water management in preparation for their upcoming well water clinic (see the flyer below!). This week they’ll discuss the final five of ten tips for managing your private well water supply.

Gloucester County Emergency Management is launching a new emergency notification service for citizens called the “BEE Alert.” All citizens must manually register to receive emergency notifications even if they are already registered with the current system, CodeRED. Data from CodeRED will not automatically be transferred over to the new system, which uses Everbridge technology.

While registration for BEE Alert will be ongoing, citizens are asked to register as soon as possible to avoid missing any emergency notifications.
