The goal of the Community Resource & Empowerment Fair is simple: make it easier for
residents to connect directly with organizations and information that can help strengthen
individuals, families, and the community.
Attendees will have an opportunity to connect with resource organizations representing
areas such as housing, health and wellness, education, youth and family services, civic
engagement, and other community supports.
The event will also feature speakers and discussions focused on community empowerment,
civic engagement, housing and resources, youth perspectives, and the importance of
residents using their voices to help shape their communities.
“We want people to leave this event with more than a bag of information. We want them to
leave connected to resources, equipped with tools they can use, and empowered to know
that their voices matter in this community,” said Kelley Saxon, event Committee Chair.
The Community Resource & Empowerment Fair is designed for the entire community,
including families, seniors, veterans, young people, college students, individuals
experiencing housing instability, returning citizens, individuals with disabilities, and anyone
interested in learning more about resources available throughout South Georgia.
