What is the

Helping Hands Community Fair?

The Helping Hands Community Fair is a free, community-focused event designed to connect individuals and families with vital local resources and services while also creating opportunities to give back. We’re bringing together area organizations that provide assistance with:

  • Addiction Recovery
  • Food Pantries & Meal Programs
  • Domestic Violence Awareness
  • Low-Cost Health Services
  • Household Assistance
  • Government Program Assistance
  • And Much More!

We’ll also be hosting community-driven donation opportunities, including:

  • A Food and Diaper Drive
  • A Plant and Seed Swap
  • Family Activities
  • The Opportunity to Get to Know Local Helping Organizations and Give Back!

Who is This Event For?

This event is for YOU, the members of this community! Whether you need assistance, want to offer support, or simply wish to connect with your community and learn about the services around here, we would love to see you!

  • If you need assistance, discover local organizations that can support you.
  • If you want to give back, donate essential items or volunteer.
  • If you just want to get to know others in the community, stop by for activities and connection.
