GNAT was formed over 15 years ago by Treva Williams, former youth minister at First Presbyterian Church. The original concept of an annual neighborhood blitz was formalized as an action team through the community visioning movement around the year of 2017.
The primary goal of GNAT is to improve the quality of life for residents in Fort Scott through clearing yard debris, painting houses, replacing old windows and doors, writing grants for big ticket needs, assisting City staff with maintenance and upkeep of parks and streets, repairing sidewalks, and partnering with other organizations for larger scale projects.
Donations made to GNAT for project materials are tax deductible and held with the City of Fort Scott. The mission of the team is to recruit community members to volunteer just 3 hours once per month to complete projects for which qualifying residents have submitted applications or those the committee has identified as needing attention.
