However, there are now many people with education, talent, and time that can contribute to solutions to these challenges. This town hall event will share community needs–from health, safety and mobility to food, employment, Internet connections and more–as a start to leveraging our community’s creative, compassionate people to address the many pressing and escalating challenges impacting our city today.
​
