COMMUNITY COMING TOGETHER

In the early morning of June 23, two Lantana homes caught fire and were considered a total loss. Because of your kindness and generosity, and quick call to action the Lantana Ladies League and Mission Moms will no longer need donations for the families involved. All of their immediate needs have been met. Thank you to the community, the organizations that took control, and the 10 agencies that responded to the emergency. We are Lantana!

MEDICAL RESERVE CORPS

Students interested in the medical field and public health have been volunteering with the Denton County Medical Reserve Corps. This program was established after September 1, 2001. Currently, volunteers are helping with COVID-19 efforts: answering calls from residents and helping at test sites. Interested in volunteering? Reach out to the Reserve Corps Coordinator at (940) 349-2910.
