What makes Barry County a special place to call home? It’s the people who show up for their neighbors, the organizations meeting local needs, and the generosity that creates new opportunities for the next generation.
Our 2026 Annual Report celebrates the people, partnerships, and local investments helping move our communities forward. From youth programs and educational opportunities to housing, community spaces, and lasting legacies, each story reflects what’s possible when people come together with a shared vision for Barry County.
This year’s report takes you along the journey through the work happening across our community, including the 30th anniversary of the Youth Advisory Council, the growth of KickStart, the Mill Street Market, Nashville Dreams, The Bridge, and the lasting impact of local giving.
Every story represents a step toward our vision of a welcoming, vibrant, and engaged community with increasing opportunity and prosperity for all residents.
Your generosity helps move us forward.
Whether you support a local cause, establish a fund, volunteer your time, or encourage others to get involved, you play a part in shaping Barry County’s future.
We invite you to explore our 2026 Annual Report and celebrate the people and possibilities that make our community what it is today and what it can become tomorrow.
Thank you for being part of the journey.
