Hunterdon County Senior Center - BINGO with a Twist - February 17, 2026

On Tuesday 2/17, One Voice brought opioid safety and wellness information to various seniors at the Hunterdon County Senior Center.  Education in the form of BINGO was a big hit, as the participants learned about opioids, safe Rx storage and disposal, Narcan administration, 911 Lifeline Legislation, and many practical tools to live a life of wellness. We had the opportunity to practice stretches, shoulder taps and deep breathing. We are grateful to Prevention Resources and the Hunterdon County Prosecutor's office for collaborating on this event and providing wonderful, useful BINGO prizes.  Thank you to the staff and participants from the Senior Center for a wonderful afternoon!
