November is Diabetes Awareness Month
Diabetes Awareness Resources
November is National Diabetes Month, a time when communities across the country team up to bring attention to diabetes.
Diabetes is a disease that occurs when your blood glucose, also called blood sugar, is too high. It affects about 37 million Americans, including adults and youth. Diabetes can damage the eyes, kidneys, nerves, and heart, and is linked to some types of cancer. There are many resources available in our community to help with management of diabetes.

Cold Weather Resources
Cold Weather Shelters
Cold Weather Shelters are operated by community-based organizations, volunteer groups, and communities of faith across Snohomish County. Hours of operation, criteria for opening, and length of season vary by location. However, Cold Weather Shelters typically open when overnight temperatures are expected to be below 34 degrees F. The cold weather season typically begins in November and can last through March of the following year.
