The annual sprint for school supplies is on, but for many families in Douglas County, the financial hurdles of back-to-school season don't have to mean a stumble. The Strive to Thrive Resource Fair, a free event designed to assist those facing tough times, has returned to offer a helping hand.
Set to take place on July 29th from 4 to 6 p.m. at Cherry Hills Community Church, according to Douglas County, the event promises a slew of resources ranging from school supplies to food and nutrition support, and even health services and job opportunities. This outreach is critical in ensuring that the stress of economic hardship does not dim the excitement, of a new school year.
For those interested in partaking of the fair's offerings, no formal appointment or pre-registration is necessary, except for families from the Douglas County School District looking to snag a backpack and school supplies. This process is designed to streamline the experience and give direct access to the more than 20 participating local organizations eager to provide support.
