FOCUS and PEACE held the second of two free community convenings on November 17 (9:30 to 11:30 AM). Together, we learned and discussed the resiliency that our community needs to meet basic needs.

The convening was open to all, including direct service staff, parents, and community members were especially asked to attend and to raise their voices.

The convening built on recommendations from the 2024 Whole Family Summit to Meet Basic Needs. It provided a space to learn from experts, generate solutions, and form practical partnerships among participants.
