The Newport News Department of Human Services is set to host its first Human Services Day Resource Fair on Saturday, October 11, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The event will take place at Rouse Tower, located at 6060 Jefferson Avenue, and is free for all members of the public.
This new initiative aims to create a central location where residents can access a variety of services that are typically distributed across different agencies and organizations. Attendees will have the chance to meet representatives from various city departments, community partners, and vendors who are focused on providing support for individuals and families in Newport News.
Programs featured at the fair will include those offered by the Department of Human Services as well as other services such as housing assistance, health resources, child and family programs, and employment opportunities available through partnerships with local organizations.
Visitors to the fair can also participate in activities designed to foster community connections. There will be free goods distributions, giveaways, raffles, and other activities throughout the day.
“Human Services Day is about bringing people together and making it easier for residents to access the programs and services that can make a real difference in their lives,” said Kimberly Thomas, Director of the Department of Human Services. “We invite the entire community to join us for this inaugural event.”
