Hope Ducks 

Box Elder County Extension is partnering with the Bear River Health Department and Intermountain Health Care to spread hope through our Hope Duck Campaign. We want everyone to know that they are seen, they are loved, and they are needed. There is ALWAYS hope, pass on the hope to those around you and let them know you are aware of them and their needs. Additional resources can be found on this page for help with mental health concerns:
