Forum To Address Stronger, Healthier Communities
February 7, 2011
The Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) and Volunteer Florida is hosting a community forum in Jay Tuesday night to get answers from residents and businesses to the following questions:
- What are the most important factors in creating strong, healthy communities in Santa Rosa County?
- What are the most pressing needs in Santa Rosa County that have to be addressed in order to strengthen families and communities?
- How can residents, businesses, public agencies and non-profit organizations address these needs with focused action and resources?
The results from the forum will be used by ACES (AmeriCorps Escambia-Santa Rosa), a collaborative of service organizations, to prepare a grant that will be submitted in April to request funding for AmeriCorps volunteers who can provide services to residents in both counties. The results will also be shared with Santa Rosa County, Jay, Milton and Gulf Breeze government officials so they can work with applicable staff to also address community needs identified in the forum.
Everyone in Santa Rosa County is encouraged to participate so they can make a positive impact towards stronger, healthier communities. The forum will be at 6 p.m. Tuesday at the Jay Community Center, 5929 Booker Street. Space is limited; RSVP to Taye Warfield at tayewarfield@bellsouth.net.
