Summer vacation is half over and not all families may be in a financial position to buy required school supplies, clothing and other back-to-school necessities.
That’s why the Strive to Thrive Resource Fair was created. This free biannual event, hosted by Douglas County’s Community of Care Network, will be from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday, July 30, at Southeast Christian Church, 9650 Jordan Road in Parker.
The event provides school supplies, food and nutrition assistance, health and well-being services, employment opportunities and more to Douglas County families and residents experiencing hard times.
No appointment or registration is required to attend the fair and connect with more than 20 area organizations on site that have the desire to help. Pre-registration is required for Douglas County School District families who wish to receive a backpack and supplies.
