January 2026 — A New Year for Kearns
Happy New Year, Kearns! We're stepping into 2026 with momentum, purpose, and a community that continues to show up for one another. Last year was remarkable — this year, we're building on it.
12 community events · 5,000+ residents connected to resources · 7 active workgroups · 30+ partner organizations · 100% volunteer-led. None of this happens without YOU.
🌱 2026 Priorities
This year, MyKearns is focused on three big goals: expanding our Youth Involvement workgroup, deepening housing stability resources, and growing our newsletter community.
👋 Welcome New Members
We welcomed 14 new volunteers in December 2025 — our biggest single-month recruitment ever. If you've been thinking about getting involved, now is the time.
Here's to an incredible 2026 — Janet Reyes & the MyKearns Community Coalition · [email protected]
December 2025 — Year in Review & Holiday Gratitude
Dear Kearns Community — As 2025 draws to a close, we want to pause and say something simple: thank you. Thank you for showing up, for sharing, for giving your time, and for believing that Kearns deserves better.
In partnership with the Utah Community Court and local legal volunteers, MyKearns connected 47 Kearns families with free eviction prevention resources in 2025. That's 47 families who didn't lose their homes.
🎄 Holiday Resource Reminder
The holidays can be stressful. If you or someone you know needs support — food, housing, health insurance, or a connection to the right resource — please reach out.
📣 Looking Ahead to 2026
We're already planning big things for 2026 — more events, a growing Youth Involvement program, and deeper community data work. Join a workgroup. Your skills are needed.
With love and gratitude — Janet Reyes & the MyKearns Community Coalition · [email protected]
November 2025 — Building Bridges in Kearns
Kearns Neighbors — November brought us one of our biggest community moments of the year. Our Resource Assessment workgroup completed a full neighborhood survey — and the results are already shaping our priorities for 2026.
Top three needs identified by Kearns residents: (1) Affordable healthcare navigation, (2) Youth after-school programs, (3) Housing stability resources. These will drive our 2026 workgroup priorities.
🤝 New Partner: Promise Partnership Utah
We're thrilled to welcome Promise Partnership Utah as a MyKearns community partner. Their focus on youth education aligns perfectly with our Youth Involvement workgroup goals.
