Good morning, Kokomo.

The Validus Movement is expanding its grassroots effort to support justice-impacted residents in Kokomo through one-on-one conversations and listening sessions, with a larger gathering planned for February.

Landis Reynolds and co-founder Devin Rush detailed efforts to connect community members with crucial recovery resources — building pathways to restorative justice.

Candidate Nate Stout is running for Indiana House District 38 with plans to improve public education, expand virtual healthcare, and support local small businesses in our region; he also proposes regular town halls to keep government accountable.

First City Recovery Center opens its second location to offer expanded support for residents in need.

The center’s growth reflects a decade-old challenge when community member Daniel Metz couldn’t find help (highlighting efforts to improve local services).
