Junction City Commisioners received a request from Martine Chery-Hilaire on Tuesday night about a proposal at the Harmony Center, 540 Grant Avenue. She was seeking $100,000 to help fund a community table program that could serve 75 meals a day. It would be part of the effort to help address food insecurity in Geary County. Funding would be sought from other sources including grants, oganizations and the County.

The First Thousand Members Club operates the Harmony Center.&nbsp;

Commissioners talked about the possibility of in-kind trash and water service or a letter of support but but did not take final action. There were suggestions for Chery-Hilaire to visit with the Convention and Visitors Bureau on the matter and that going to other organizations would help. There was some sentiment as well that this needs to be privately funded.
