No child should ever go hungry.
Thanks to @FWCommSchools and @ACPL, local children will once again have access to free meals all summer long. From June 1 through July 31, eight library locations across our community will provide free lunches and snacks on weekdays.
I was grateful to help kick off the program today and thankful for both organizations for continuing to step up for our children and families. Programs like this make a real difference and show what’s possible when our community comes together to support one another.

Since taking office, I’ve had hundreds of conversations with business and nonprofit leaders, property owners, law enforcement, service providers, and residents about the need to address homelessness in our community, particularly in downtown Fort Wayne. Our team has studied best practices, visited other cities, and worked closely with local partners to develop a thoughtful approach.
Today, I’m grateful to announce that philanthropic leaders are showing confidence in this vision by investing $2.26 million to support the creation of a low-barrier resource center.
The newly formed Anchor Resource Center nonprofit will lease the building from the City of Fort Wayne and provide coordinated services that connect individuals experiencing homelessness with housing, job training and employment opportunities, as well as mental and physical healthcare.
The work begins now to improve the lives of residents who need us.

This morning, I had the honor of recognizing 12 firefighters from the Fort Wayne Fire Department with the Unit Commendation Recognition Award for their heroic efforts in rescuing a resident and family pet from a second-story window earlier this year.
We’re incredibly grateful as a community for the bravery, quick thinking, and teamwork demonstrated every day by our firefighters.

Listening to our youth matters to me because their voices help shape the future of our city.
I had a great time visiting Memorial Park Middle School this morning, talking with students and hearing directly from them about the issues that matter most. I also had the opportunity to enjoy a fantastic performance from the 78 Edition Show Choir!

Over the weekend, I wrote an editorial in @JGfortwayne about the need for lasting, meaningful solutions to support our unhoused residents.
By working closely with several community partners, we are making real progress toward opening a 24/7 homeless resource center.

Let’s celebrate America’s 250th anniversary together!
I was thrilled to announce that the City of Fort Wayne will host a 4th of July Parade at 10:00 AM. The parade will travel along Calhoun Street, and I invite all residents to come out and be part of this special day.
This is our moment to stand united, celebrate our shared pride, and show what makes Fort Wayne and our country so special.

It’s exciting to break ground on The Landing Exchange, a new mixed-use development in the heart of our city. With its rich history, The Landing is stepping into its next chapter as a place where people can gather, connect, and belong.
