This federal nutrition assistance program offers $120 per eligible child on a prepaid EBT card, in support for families during the summer months. Students currently receiving SNAP automatically enrolled, but if not, you may still be eligible! Check eligibility and benefits now at dhs.pa.gov/SUNBucks by @gethealthyphilly

That vape shop charge hits again.

And again.

And again.

You don't really notice it until you scroll through your transactions and realize how often it's there. Those few dollars here and there don't stay "a few dollars" for long.

Chronic diseases don't happen overnight. Every tobacco product can contribute to long-term damage that increases the risk of:

❤️ Heart disease
🫁 Chronic respiratory diseases
🧠 Stroke
🎗️ Multiple types of cancer
🩺 Diabetes complications

For Chronic Diseases, remember that prevention starts with the choices we make today.

Quitting tobacco is one of the most powerful steps you can take to protect your future health.

There’s a lot to celebrate in Philly this summer! Travelers from across the world and people who call Philly home will be exploring local bars and enjoying the city’s nightlife. We want everyone to have a good time, but we also know:

During large public events, especially sporting events, alcohol-related emergency room visits increase. 🏥

People won’t just be drinking. Polysubstance use, or the use of more than one kind of drug at a time, is common and can be dangerous. Combining alcohol and other drugs carries additional health and safety risks. 💊

Philly’s drug supply is unpredictable, and people who buy recreational drugs in other places might not be used to the risks of getting something that contains a dangerous contaminant, like fentanyl. ⚠️

Because we care about the safety and well-being of people who visit our city and those who live here, SUPHR is launching the Party Smarter campaign - a city-wide initiative to promote safer behaviors while drinking or using other substances. Over the next month, we will run ads across the city reminding people to moderate their drinking, avoid mixing substances, and take safety precautions, regardless of the substances they use. Learn more about the Party Smarter campaign at the link in our bio, and at SubstanceUsePhilly.com/PartySmarter.
