The FOCUS Faith-Based Symposium Spotlighted the Supports Needed in a Post-Pandemic World

The FOCUS Faith-Based Symposium on September 28th at Anona United Methodist Church centered on the role that faith-based and social service communities play in a post-pandemic Pinellas County.

JWB Community Engagement Advocate Joanne Reich moderated a panel including Directions for Living CEO April Lott; Sandnes Boulanger with Operation PAR, Inc.; and Gabriela Holton from CASA Pinellas.

Jeanine Evoli, JWB’s Director of Family Services Initiative, also spoke.

The event drew 125 attendees who were eager to network and explore resource tables representing 16 different community agencies.

We’ve shared a video of the event on the Faith-Based Partnerships page of our website so anyone can watch it on-demand.

A Facebook album of event photos has been published, as well.
