Since beginning as a grassroots initiative in 2019, LaSalle County Konnections has engaged approximately 500 unique individuals through education and community programming. A core group of approximately 90–100 participants engages regularly each year, reflecting sustained community trust and ongoing demand for inclusive programming.

Participation is tracked through event registrations, donations, and ongoing community engagement.
