Who should be responsible to find solutions to countywide problems? Problems such as: affordable housing, unemployment, single parent childcare, transportation, hunger & nutrition, disaster relief, and so much more. Such a large task becomes impossible for any one government or organization, and the reality is — it take us ALL to solve the issues faced by our community!
It takes efforts by each sector in our community:
- Private Sector (Business)
- Non-Profit Sector (Social Services)
- Public Sector (Government)
- Faith-Based Sector (Churches)
We’ve already been able to bring County stakeholders together, assessed community needs, and received an abundance of quantified data from the County! Incredibly, all of the work to-date has been done with volunteers! If you are apart of one these sectors and feel you can contribute in some way, we want to hear from you!
