I-C.A.R.E is an organization that we kind of brought together to just try and make a difference and make the community a better place, to bring and discuss some of the issues we are dealing with.

"With the fentanyl, with the crime problem we are having, with the gun violence, and mental health issues, we want to be a resource to the community as a whole," Jackson City Councilman Johnny Dodd said.

The Better Community Summit takes place on Saturday, August 12 at Lane College in the Chambers McClure Academic Center.
