Pendleton, we still need your voice 🗣️💙

As we’ve reviewed responses from our community survey so far, we’ve noticed that some voices—especially underrepresented groups in our community. And that matters.

This effort is about everyone in Pendleton. Every story, every perspective, every lived experience helps shape the future of our town.

So we’re taking action.
🗓️ We’re extending the survey for 2 more weeks to give everyone in the community to provide their input.

If you haven’t taken the survey yet, now is the time. And if you have, help us spread the word—share this with your friends, family, and neighbors.

💬 Let’s make sure every voice is heard.
📲 Take the survey today: www.townofpendleton.org/Pendletonsurvey
