RWE partners with library for summer reading program hands-on experiments

During the recent Humboldt County Board of Supervisors meeting, discussions centered around community support initiatives, particularly the establishment of a food pantry and potential winter shelter options for residents in need.

One of the key topics was the proposal to provide access to a food pantry, which would allow community members to obtain essential supplies. Board members discussed logistics, including the possibility of granting access to specific areas of the facility while ensuring restroom facilities are available at nearby locations, such as the newly built shelter at Sheldon Park.

The conversation also highlighted the need for winter accommodations. Board members considered reaching out to local schools for space during colder months, emphasizing the importance of having a safe and accessible location for those in need. The goal is to have these services operational by July, ensuring that residents have support before the winter season arrives.

In addition to the food pantry discussions, Jeremy Johnson from RWE informed the board about an upcoming partnership with the local library, where they will engage children in hands-on experiments as part of the summer reading program. This initiative aims to foster learning and community involvement among youth.

The meeting concluded with a transition to drainage issues, indicating that the board is also focused on infrastructure and environmental concerns. Overall, the discussions reflect a commitment to addressing immediate community needs while planning for future support systems. The board's proactive approach aims to enhance the quality of life for Humboldt County residents, ensuring that essential services are available and accessible.
