NeighborImpact in Warm Springs

A NeighborImpact listening session was held at the community center social hall last night (Tue., Aug. 29, 2023) with over a dozen community members in attendance along with NeighborImpact representatives.

Issues discussed included food box assistance, transportation needs for folks to get food boxes, increasing methods of effective communication, NeighborImpacts programs for weatherization and rental assistance, needs for more preschool and child care option, and in general – assistance with the application process for all program services provided by NeighborImpact.

The organization has been hosting community meetings in an effort to identify the ways in which they are meeting people’s needs but also getting input on how NeighborImpact could help to fill gaps and overcome challenges for people
