As Dallas dwellers gear up to honor Presidents' Day, the city officials have announced a temporary halt to the hustle: City of Dallas offices will shut down next Monday, February 17. This info comes straight from the WCIA's Weekly Updates, where you can also snag the full list of closures if you need to get up to speed, as per the City of Dallas.

The Resource Hub is a bit of a digital lifesaver, packaging all sorts of support from food to legal aid. To use an old phrase, it's about to make life a whole lot easier for residents. They've got this dashboard right there online, where folks can just plug in their zip code, click on their needs, and potentially find a match for free or reduced-cost services where they live. 

The arts scene is getting a healthy dose of limelight too. Dallas is throwing its inaugural 214 Day: Show Love for Dallas event, which promises to sprinkle a little creativity all over the place. Expect light bites, entertainment, and exploratory art all in the name of celebrating the city's cultural fabric.

Opportunity's knocking for Dallas citizens in search of a leg up career-wise. A heap of job fairs and employment opportunities have been announced—from healthcare gigs at Texas Health to roles with the Dallas Police Department. It seems the city's gone into full gear to offer up a cornucopia of potential employment paths. 

And it's not only job seekers who have something to write home about. Volunteers get their due with a slate of opportunities to give back. There are community creek cleanups, DISD Volunteer Day for high school students, and a shout-out for tutors at Heart House ready to uplift new refugee and immigrant students.
