County services are integral in the lives of so many in our community. Not a day goes by that all of us don't benefit in some way from many the things the County does....when we turn on our faucet, there's water. When we're driving on our roadways, we rely on signs and signals to keep traffic moving safely. When we put our trash at the curb, it's gone when we get home. And for those who are less fortunate in our community, County services mean even more. From transportation for people with disabilities to meals for the elderly, the services received from Miami-Dade County are essential. Like most things in life, we tend to take this for granted. Learn more about how the County is serving our community every day, and take the time to tell others. http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=cab5jwdab&et=1103812070941&s=2454&e=0013fNT_fdal0ODRpeGchOBzjXD0e-RQIMFG8MXJQ1jo0tjBxRm1nqkLPNPW0e12no9MkwTegvRr6LezUcdMs03iQgUuNS49FBq4h6PwsBS-x_iRc1rKlff8U0fQbGHdFvAUl1uHXH2HIM=
