This week on the Great Big Podcast, we sit down with two representatives from the Fort Cavazos Religious Support Office and one representative from the Central Texas Food Bank. We cover the Fort Cavazos Food Pantry, highlight the service of those who work in the RSO and highlight the “Fresh Food for Families” program. Be sure to tune in and learn a little more about the programs that help make the Great Place, great.

Participate in Community Strengths & Themes Assessment The Fort Cavazos Department of Public Health is conducting a comprehensive Community Strengths and Themes Assessment now through Sept. 30. CSTA is an assessment of military communities for health risk factors and needs. It is open to all who interact at Fort Cavazos — including, but not limited to, service members, retirees, family members, Department of Defense beneficiaries, DOD civilians and contractors. Responses are confidential and private. To participate, visit https://phpubapps.health.mil/Survey/se/2511374548575240.

Show Notes: The Transportation Motor Pool shuttle will sunset on Sept. 30 after 15 years of servicing the Fort Cavazos community, which will be a pivotal time for the TMP. However, with the implementation of the Cavazos Connector, riders will still be serviced post-wide with no break in service. Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center’s department of Maternal Child Health will conduct the 9th annual Baby Expo from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 5. The expo is open to all DOD ID cardholders and will provide information and resources about early pregnancy to 1-year-old babies, as well as prenatal and postpartum resources at CRDAMC. The department will also provide tours of the Women’s Health Clinic and Labor & Delivery unit to orient new families. Fort Cavazos community members who have completed a degree or certificate, or will be within nine semester hours of completion by Oct. 24, have the opportunity to be recognized for their achievements at the 27th annual Consolidated Graduate Recognition Ceremony at 1 p.m. Oct. 24 at Howze Auditorium. To reserve a spot, RSVP no later than Sept. 27 to usarmy.cavazos.id-readiness.mbx.dhr-esd-special-events@army.mil.
