County Departments sign off on Look Before You Lock

In June several Wilson County Government departments and community partners signed off on the "Look before you Lock" campaign. These community partners are joining together to help educate parents, grandparents, caregivers and the general public to always check the back seat before locking the car and walking away to help keep children safe from hot cars.

The statistics are sobering and research shows that it can happen to any family or individual, often in a simple moment of distraction. But that moment can be deadly for young children.

If you would like a window cling for your personal use or to help share the message in our community feel free to contact DSS at 252-206-4000.  Thanks to the Wilson County Community Child Protection and Child Fatality Prevention Teams and to all our community partners who signed on to help spread the word. And thanks again to our local Walmart for their grant funds that help produce the window clings.

Snack Smart, Save Money, Time and Calories

It’s completely normal to snack throughout the workday. While it can be tempting to opt for the fast, easy (but unhealthy) option, taking a minute to snack smart can save you time, money and calories. Keep the following three tips in mind to help you snack smart at the office.

1. Take a break. When you reach for your snack at work, don’t eat it while working. Instead, take a quick break to eat your snack uninterrupted to avoid overeating.

2. Meal prep your snacks. One of the best ways to avoid impulsively purchasing unhealthy snacks from the vending machine is to pre-portion your healthy snacks at the beginning of the week and bring them with you to work.

3. Think about macronutrients. Try to combine macronutrients (protein, fat and carbohydrates) at each snacking session. Doing so will help you feel satisfied and full until it’s time for your next meal.
