Our community is strongest when we work together — and right now, we have an important opportunity to do just that.

We are launching a Community Needs Assessment to better understand the resources we currently have in place and identify where gaps may exist. This effort is designed to strengthen the network of support for children, youth, families, and individuals across our counties. Your voice and experience are essential to making this assessment meaningful and accurate.

We are asking community members, service providers, educators, faith leaders, business owners, and anyone invested in the well‑being of our community to take part. By participating, you will help us:

• Highlight the strengths and resources already available
• Identify unmet needs or barriers faced by residents
• Build stronger connections between organizations
• Find partners to fill gaps where services are limited or missing
• Shape collaborative solutions that reflect the real needs of our community

Your input will directly guide how we coordinate services, strengthen partnerships, and ensure that every resident — especially our most vulnerable — has access to the support they need.

Please take a few minutes to complete the assessment and share it with others in your network. Every perspective adds value, and your participation truly makes a difference.

Thank you for your commitment to building a connected, responsive, and resilient community. Together, we can ensure our community continues to be places where all individuals and families can thrive.
