August 2025 - Spreading Wisdom and Kindness at the Hunterdon County Libraries
An introduction to Owlbert and his positive messages were spread throughout Hunterdon County through all of the libraries in the community. One Voice provided bookmarks, coloring books, crayons, pencils, and stickers all with Owlbert's positive messaging for the county's littlest readers. We received such great support from parents, librarians, and kids as we specifically reminded all to Make Wise Choices: "Be a Buddy Not a Bully" and "Never Take Medication That Doesn't Belong To You" At One Voice, we believe that education starts early and lasts a lifetime. Our partnership with Hunterdon County libraries reflects our ongoing commitment to reaching children where they are—physically, emotionally, and socially. With Owlbert leading the way, we’re proud to continue spreading wisdom, one wise choice at a time.

July 2025 - ShopRite Pharmacy - A Partner in Prevention
One Voice of Hunterdon has created a coloring book featuring our mascot, Owlbert the Wise Owl, to teach young children about medication safety in an engaging and age-appropriate way. The two key messages in this story/coloring book are to only take medicine when your parent/caregiver is present and never take medicine intended for someone else. Through engaging illustrations, the coloring book uses Owlbert to deliver these critical safety messages in a way that resonates with young audiences. The act of coloring helps reinforce the lessons, making them more likely to stick with children. Thank you to ShopRite of Hunterdon for distributing this book in both the Flemington and Clinton locations.
