‘We See You’ campaign

The Warren Coalition’s community-building initiative campaign called “We See You, Warren County” enters its third month with 42 businesses and organizations signed on, along with a number of individuals. Others have joined the Facebook group, which is closing in on 100 people.

By signing up, organizations agree to encourage their employees to acknowledge each other and their customers, as well as those they pass by, with the monthly saying. For November, the saying is “Good luck today!” The goal of the campaign is to be more conscious of reaching out to others and making them feel like acknowledged, welcomed members of the Warren County community.

Participants are encouraged to share their experiences on social media using the hashtag #WeCUWC. Businesses and organizations will receive a window cling to show they are participating. Each month, the Warren Coalition will feature up to 50 members of the Warren County community on the “We See You” website, and on the Warren Coalition social media accounts.

Sign-ups are ongoing. Go to https://tinyurl.com/4zctfp2w to learn more or visit https://tinyurl.com/3yucw5xc.
