Whether it’s starting a new job, changing schools, or settling into a new neighborhood, we all have had moments where we felt a little out-of-place. For many who moved to Willmar in the last year or many years ago, this experience can last for more than a moment. That’s why we’re re-imagining belonging in Willmar—both for born-and-raised residents and newcomers. When we ensure that everyone belongs, our community benefits from new talent, perspectives, and contributions.
On Saturday, September 11, Southwest Initiative Foundation is hosting a Willmar Welcome Week event from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM at Selvig Park (downtown). To spark this journey, and we want you to be a part of it! It will be a celebration day full of kid-friendly activities, food, live music, and space for local organizations to share resources. You have an important role in our community! More than that, it's an opportunity to hear the unique stories and diverse experiences of neighbors who call Willmar home. If you would like your organization to participate in the event, please reach out to Sarah Swedburg at 320-905-0069 or sarah@kandiyohi.com.
