9:00am-12:00pm

Meet at Sunflower Park at 9:00am

Bring friends and family to for a morning of community improvement and beautification. Activities to include litter clean-up, graffiti removal, and reporting illegal dumping and abandoned shopping carts for pick-up.

I am happy to say that collectively, we decided to use $2 million of American Rescue Plan Act funds to go to local child care, in efforts to expand and support providers serving infants and toddlers. This funding will allow the County to see where the needs in our County are the highest when it comes to infant, toddler child-care and give opportunity for our city and community partners to match our efforts.
