Hesston, we want to hear from you! 🥦

Hesston has been without a grocery store since 2018. For a lot of families, that means a drive out of town just to get fresh produce, milk, or a loaf of bread.

United Way of Harvey and Marion Counties, the Healthy Harvey Coalition, and the Hesston Chamber are teaming up to answer a practical question: could a right-sized, year-round fresh food market on Main Street work, and what would it take to make it happen?

That's where you come in. Our community survey is now open, and it only takes a few minutes. Tell us where you shop, how far you drive, and what you'd actually use if fresh food were available right here in town.

Everyone who responds will be entered to win a $50 Casey's gift card.

👉 Take the survey: https://bit.ly/HesstonMarketSurvey

This study is funded by a K-State Extension - Rural Grocery Initiative - Kansas Healthy Food Initiative predevelopment grant, and we'll share findings publicly as each phase wraps up. Follow along at https://hesstonmarket.uwhmc.org.

Your answers will shape what comes next. Please share this with your Hesston friends and neighbors!

Newton families, this is your chance to be heard! The Newton, KS City Government and Kansas Active Transportation want to know what makes it hard for kids to walk, bike, and roll to school. Missing sidewalks, school zones that are tough to see, intersections that feel unsafe? Put it in the survey.

Thank you so much to Walk&Roll Harvey, who have been championing safe routes for our kids and helping shine a light on what families face every day. Now it's our turn to back that up with real feedback.

"The lack of sidewalks in my neighborhood makes it difficult to get to school."
"Why aren't there more stop signs near schools?"
"The school zones aren't easy to see. Can you do anything about that?"

These are just a few examples we have seen discussed on social media, and we'd love to see that input and feedback in the survey or on the interactive webpage. This will help collect official data that's needed to take the next steps!

What a morning! South Breeze families showed up bright and early to for their third annual Walk and Roll to School Day, and it was so much fun.

We had the Harvey County Health Department and the Walk&Roll Harvey handing out goodies, Newton Schools and South Breeze cheering everyone on, and Newton, KS Police Department and Newton Fire/EMS keeping us safe along the way. Coney the Traffic Cone and Sparky the Fire Pup were definitely the stars of the walk. Huge shoutout to the Newton, KS City Government and the State of Kansas for helping make safe routes to school happen, too.

KAKE News came out to catch it all, so check out their story below!

Healthy Harvey was on the road yesterday!

Members of the Healthy Harvey Coalition traveled to Salina for the Elevate Kansas Community Development Forum, bringing together community leaders from across the state to learn, connect, and explore ways to build stronger, healthier communities.

Representing Healthy Harvey were Isabella and Aline from the Harvey County Health Department, Jace from United Way of Harvey and Marion Counties, and Kendra from Peace Connections.

This is what coalition work looks like: partners from different organizations coming together, learning alongside one another, and bringing new ideas and connections back home to Harvey County.

We’re grateful for partners who are willing to invest their time in learning, collaboration, and finding new ways to strengthen our community. And thanks to Elevate Kansas for creating a space where communities across Kansas can learn from each other!

Congratulations, Halstead Housing Authority!

This week Halstead Housing Authority was presented with a Pathways Implementation Grant from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas, funding for a walking path, benches, and dog park planned for the pond area on their property.

This grant follows the partnership agreement Halstead Housing Authority signed with Healthy Harvey Coalition this summer, and it moves the project into its next phase. Thank you to United Way of Harvey and Marion Counties, who serves as our fiscal agent and helps make this partnership possible.

We're grateful for the residents who shared their ideas, for Halstead Housing Authority's commitment to this work, and for BCBSKS's investment in healthier, more connected communities. More updates to come as this project takes shape! 💙🌻
