In 2026, our Executive Director, Will Hudson, will be taking a seat—literally—on a bench in the square of Gettysburg to connect with the people who make our community what it is.
Bench Talk 2026 is an open, informal invitation for anyone who would like to talk with Will—community members, organizational partners, churches, and others—about our community, the challenges we face, and the impactful changes we can make when we work together.
🗓 When:
4:00 PM on January 30th – 4:00 PM on January 31st
A full 24 hours of conversation.
⏱ How it works:
The 24-hour timeframe will be broken into 10-minute time slots, giving individuals the opportunity to sit down and have a focused conversation with Will about the topics that matter most to them.
