Buffalo Strong

Come out to the Grand Opening of the Buffalo Area Community Center and say hi!

See what’s new with Buffalo Strong, including our newest initiative- YOUth Rising - A Buffalo Strong Initiative!

Today, we're shining a light on a group that often suffers in silence: middle-aged men in our community.

The Wright County Su***de Prevention Coalition, an initiative of Buffalo Strong, is focused on reducing su***de risk and strengthening mental well-being among men ages 40–65 in Buffalo and surrounding rural areas.

Between 2018 and 2023, Wright County experienced 110 su***de deaths — nearly 75% were men. Men working in construction, manufacturing, transportation, and farming face some of the highest risks.

Mental health is health.

Checking in with a friend, asking a coworker how they're really doing, or reaching out when you're struggling can save lives. Strength isn't about carrying everything on your own. Strength is knowing when to ask for support.

This Men's Mental Health Month, let's start the conversation, break the stigma, and remind the men in our lives:
You are not alone. You matter. There is hope.

We’re excited to have a space at the 🎉Grand Opening🎉 of the new Buffalo Area Community Center!

Stop by and see us 💜

Join our Grand Opening Celebration on Tuesday, June 9th 5pm-8pm at the Buffalo Area Community Center 114 Commerce Circle. Park in the Covenant Church Parking Lot if you're able to walk over. This event will kick off our extended hours! Monday - Saturday 8am-8pm, Sunday 12pm-6pm.

Research shows that spending just 20 minutes outside in nature can help reduce stress and improve mood.

Whether it's a walk around the block, sitting on your deck, enjoying a local park, or dipping your toes in the lake, a little fresh air can go a long way.

Take a few minutes for yourself today.

Your mind will thank you. 💜

With summer quickly approaching, we would like to enable you to create healthy snacks for your kids to enjoy. It is so important to have healthy options right at your fingertips to avoid reaching for other unhealthy, processed options.

Here is a nutrient-packed cool treat that is very easy to make and also easy to throw into a freezer container for the kids to take out at a moment's notice! Feel free to mix up the fixings and share your favorites with us!

Today we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. 🇺🇸

This Memorial Day, Buffalo Strong stands with gratitude, reflection, and respect for those who served our country with courage and selflessness.

Reminder: your brain needs good things to look forward to, too!

Coffee with a friend.
A summer concert.
A workout class.
A walk around the lake.
Ice cream after dinner.
Five quiet minutes outside.

Joy doesn’t have to be life-changing to matter. Small moments count.

What’s one thing you’re looking forward to this week? This month? This summer?
