If your home was painted before 1979 it may contain lead paint. Lead poisoning doesn't just come from eating paint chips - the number one cause of lead poisoning is lead dust, something that is hard to see and easily overlooked. Children are most vulnerable to lead poisoning. Lead can cause severe developmental and health problems, and even death.
Learn the what, when, and how about lead poisoning prevention, and receive a free kit of testing and prevention materials. We often we have a free blood lead test if you bring your children. (When you call to reserve a spot, just ask!)

Those with children who live or visit their homes and pregnant women should certainly come!

Please call Community Energy Project at 503-284-4962 x 4 OR email at lead@communityenergyproject.com to sign up for a workshop (so we know how many free kits to bring with us!) and be empowered through knowledge.
