Bianca Bernett of Topeka’s Office of Inclusive Communities announces 2026 Community Resource Expo Series

Bianca Bernett of the Office of Inclusive Communities announced a new outreach program for 2026, the Topeka Community Resource Expo Series, aimed at connecting residents with city departments and resources. "Come on out. We hope to see you there," Bernett said in the brief announcement.

The series, Bernett said, will be a set of community events where city agencies — including the police and fire departments, planning staff and property maintenance — and "various other departments and resources" will be available in neighborhoods to answer questions and provide information. The Office of Inclusive Communities is presenting the events as a way to make city services more accessible without requiring residents to visit municipal offices.

No dates, locations or registration details were provided in the announcement. Bernett encouraged residents to attend when the Office releases the full schedule and additional details. The message concluded with an invitation to the public to visit the events and ask questions of city staff.
