👶 Little hands are curious! Keep medicines, vitamins, cleaning products and vapes up, away and locked out of sight and reach.
Keep products in their original containers, and never call medicine “candy.”

🍎 Cortland to the Core! 🍎
Cortland Prevention Resources was proud to participate in the YWCA Cortland Chefs Take a Stand event benefiting Aid to Victims of Violence!
We served up a little taste of fall with our signature alcohol-free mocktail, Cortland to the Core, featuring locally made Hollenbeck's Cider Mill apple cider, Lyre's Spirit Co non-alcoholic sparkling Classico, and a delicious caramel and apple cider sugar rim!
It was a wonderful evening celebrating our community, supporting an incredibly important cause, and showing that festive, delicious drinks don’t need alcohol to be something special.
Thank you to the YWCA for bringing our community together in support of survivors of domestic and sexual violence. We’re grateful to have been part of it! 💜
