The PEACE, Inc. Viola G. Chisholm Eastside Family Resource Center recently hosted a Health and Wellness Fair, bringing together a variety of community agencies and organizations to connect residents with valuable resources and services. The event provided an opportunity for community members to learn about programs available to support their health, well-being, and everyday needs.

Attendees were able to visit with representatives from local agencies and gather information about the services they offer. In addition to resource materials, participants had access to clothing, food, household supplies, hygiene items, and seed packs to help start home gardens. Guests also enjoyed a BBQ lunch, creating an inviting atmosphere where neighbors could gather, connect, and learn about the resources available throughout the community.

The event showcased the power of community partnerships. By bringing multiple organizations together in one location, residents were able to explore a wide range of services and supports without having to travel to different agencies. These connections can often lead to new opportunities, increased access to assistance, and stronger support networks for individuals and families.

Events like the Health and Wellness Fair play an important role in connecting individuals and families with resources they may not know exist. By bringing community partners together in one place, the fair helped strengthen local connections and provided residents with tools and resources that can support their long-term success and well-being. Through events like this, PEACE, Inc. continues its mission of helping people in the community realize their potential for becoming self-sufficient.
