Frontline Addiction Recovery Ministries is restoring a former nursing home and turning it into a 70-bed men’s recovery center in Stoddard County.

SEMO Food Bank Chief Advancement Officer Lisa Church says they will be receiving three tractor trailer loads of food in the next several weeks.

It was held at Cape Girardeau County Park where folks honored those affected by Alzheimer’s with a Promise Garden ceremony and a one-mile walk.

This gave people a chance to get rid of their unwanted prescriptions along with other medications they don’t have a need for anymore.

Dozens of teams came out to honor and remember their loved ones who were lost to suicide or impacted by it in some way.

The event will feature overdose survivors, treatment professionals, a memorial balloon release and a candlelight vigil to commemorate the growing number of people who lose their lives to drug overdoses each year.

The SEMO Food Bank is seeing higher food, freight and fuel prices that has impacted the amount of food they have been able to get for the region.

Those involved with the partnership said that uninsured or underinsured residents in need of quality health care can seek treatment at any location.

The Cape Girardeau Public Library and the Cape Girardeau Parks and Recreation held a ribbon cutting on Wednesday and officially announced Wi-Fi access for the community in several parks.

The Health and Wellness Expo 2021 is scheduled to be at the Osage Centre on June 5.
