County to host community resource exchange; veterans officers to staff new CCM resource center

County officials said the fourth annual Community Resource Exchange will be held on Executive Drive and will bring together more than 50 critical service providers, municipal leaders, faith communities, school staff and law enforcement to share information about available services. Commissioner Kristin Myers and other officials described the event as a networking opportunity intended to help municipal leaders and providers coordinate services.

Myers also announced that Morris County Veterans Services officers began on‑site support at the new County College of Morris Veterans Resource Center on Sept. 4; county staff said officers will be on site the first and third Thursday of each month. County staff urged municipal leaders and nonprofits to participate in the exchange and in county outreach efforts to improve awareness of available resources across municipalities.

County staff noted divisions including the division of community and behavioral health and the division on aging, disabilities and community programming are conducting funding reviews for county and state funding for calendar year 2026; those reviews will go before committees this month and before larger committees by the end of the month. Officials said staff will continue outreach to municipalities and non‑profit partners to broaden participation.
