Goodyear Faith & Community Roundtable Summary

March 12, 2024


Thank you for participating in this month's resource a need discussion of engaging with businesses and business owners. We were joined by Deni, co-owner of EnRoute Coffee and New Penny Cafe to offer some helpful insight on engaging with local businesses. When it comes to partnering with local businesses, there is more than just purchasing products - Shoutouts and shares on social media, commenting to boost engagement, and taking time to connect in person can go a long way in building relationships!


We look forward to seeing you next month back at the Goodyear Rec Campus.
