To develop a plan that will guide its investment in local projects through 2026, the Escambia Children's Trust wants to engage a broad cross-section of the community. “The philosophy is that the Children's Trust belongs to the residents of Escambia County,” said Tammy Greer, the Trust’s executive director. “And we want to make sure that as we're trying to figure out what the next steps are, we have the public's input. It’s pretty much just that simple; we want to hear from the community.”  All residents are invited to join the conversation at the upcoming Town Hall sessions: 12:30-2:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 8, at the Molino Library, 6450-A Hwy. 95A; 5-7 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug.9, at the Brownsville Community Center, 3200 W. DeSoto St.; and 3-5 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 10, at the Tryon Branch Library, 1200 Langley Ave. For more information, please visit future.escambiachildrenstrust.org.
