Atlantic, IA – Officials with the Healthy Cass County Coalition are inviting the community to the Coalition’s next meeting on Monday, September 8, at 12:00 p.m.  The meeting takes place at the Cass County Community Center. The meeting will shine a spotlight on volunteerism in Cass County—a vital part of keeping our communities strong and connected.

The Coalition extends a special invitation to all organizations and groups that rely on volunteers, as well as individuals interested in volunteering, whether for short-term projects or long-term commitments. The goal is to bring everyone together—those who serve and those who support—to discuss how we can strengthen volunteerism in our county.

Topics of conversation will include:

“We’ve noticed a trend in our communities that is alarming for many of the organizations we work with,” Public Health  Director Megan Roberts said. “We know there is a lot of common ground we can connect on with these community  partners to find a solution to our volunteer needs and we want to work together as we figure it out. The Healthy Cass County Coalition welcomes all community members to be part of this important discussion. Together, we can create new opportunities and strengthen the support system for volunteers in Cass County.
