LYSOL’s Mission For Health! $20 AMEX GC #giveaway 1

With weather getting cold and those of you parents with kids in daycare and school, we all know germs are EVERYWHERE. Last year, we were one of the families that were hit by the H1N1 virus and it was not fun. I cleaned everything in sight to keep it contained and it was a task.

LYSOL’s Mission For Health! $20 AMEX GC #giveaway 2

LYSOL has come to the help by creating the Mission for Health Program, an online community to help Moms like you and me connect to learn about a variety of ways to help keep our families healthy, what we can do to help our schools stay clean and students healthy, and how we all can help support Lysol in helping those impacted when disasters strike. Lysol’s Mission for Health is there to provide resources to help prevent the spread of diseases and provide special offers and discounts on Lysol products as well as exciting contests such as the Community Heroes Contest, giving those to help improve health in their communities the chance to win up to $5,000! Mission for Health is easy to navigate and full of just about any ideas you could think of when it comes to keeping healthy homes and healthy families!

LYSOL wants you to have an active role in keeping your family and community healthy. By joining the Mission for Health, you can learn about this, as well as the chance to share your very own tips with others like you. How can the Mission for Health Program help?

The 3 main focuses for the program:

  • Schools: The increased spread of germs combined with schools cutting budgets, Lysol knew this should be a focus. So to empower families, they developed a program designed to teach healthy habits and increase school attendance (aka less sick days!)
  • Disaster Relief: Lysol has partnered with Save the Children®, a non-profit disaster relief organization, to support the needs of families whose health and safety are impacted during a natural disaster
  • Moms: Moms will be provided with educational recourses about how to keep mom and infant healthy with information available at their OBGYN office, pediatrician’s office, and on Lysol.com

So many times we depend on teachers to do what’s right for our kids, but we must realize they are on even stricter and tighter budgets than we are!

Foodborne illness germs are spread easily from some foods, especially raw meats and poultry, to hands or kitchen work surfaces, and in turn can be spread to other foods.

  214. I LOVE the idea of the Blue Ribbon School Attendance Challenge! Year round school is great – when the season changes, lots of germs are going around school… but my kids weren’t in school so they didn’t get sick. But we don’t have year-round high schools, so now they’re getting sick every seasons change. It would be great if schools were motivated to keep the kids healthy

  218. I like that they have tips for new moms and donate to aid natural disasters.
