(KNZA)--Building a brighter future for Jackson County is on the agenda for three Community Conversations to be held this month.

The conversations are part of United Way of Greater Topeka’s volunteer visioning process and will help guide future investments in the county.

The Jackson County Advisory Council is inviting all Jackson County residents to help address the issues most important to them. United Way will host a two-hour facilitated conversation to help residents begin to craft a vision for the community.

The Community Conversations will be held at three locations this month. June 23rd at the Holton High School, June 27th at Royal Valley High School, and June 30th at Jackson Heights High School. Each meeting will begin at 6 p.m.

While not required, RSVPs are appreciated. You can contact Katie Sullivan, Director of Community Impact, United Way of Greater Topeka, at 785-228-5121 or email her at ksullivan@unitedwaytopeka.org.

In 2012, Jackson County officially became part of United Way of Greater Topeka. A year later, two Jackson County residents joined the United Way Board of Directors and a Jackson County Advisory Council was established.

United Way of Greater Topeka’s work in Jackson County currently focuses on basic needs, specifically food, rent and utilities, and prescription assistance. Residents of Holton, Hoyt, Mayetta and Netawaka currently serve on the Advisory Council.
