STOP THE BLEED
July 8

1-2:30

Parlor at First United Methodist Church

Accidents can happen anywhere, and we need to be prepared to stop bleeding in order to save a life. This course, sponsored by the American College of Surgeons, prepares individuals to control bleeding in emergencies before first responders arrive. All participants will have an opportunity to practice what they learn on the manikins available.

We need to know the number of participants so that we can be certain to have enough instructors. Please click here to register!

We have an opportunity to help our community! Read more from the McKinney Parks Foundation & sign up to work on Saturday!

We’re heartbroken to share that the East McKinney Learning Garden, a space dedicated to teaching sustainable gardening and addressing food insecurity in our community, was vandalized last night. Bricks were scattered, all our wheelbarrows broken, and young seedlings ripped from their beds.

Our garden is built on resilience, and we know this community stands strong together. Join us for our next Garden Workday, Saturday, March 8th, at 8 AM to help rebuild, replant, and keep growing.
