We partner with Community Services Network to hold an annual community resource fair at the Lloyd Center featuring dozens of nonprofits, government agencies, community organizations, and service providers that provide information and free services. The event is free and open to the public and attendees can fund information on topics ranging from healthcare sign-up, utilities/bill payment assistance, food boxes, legal aid, health and wellbeing, emergency preparedness, and more. We also offer flu and COVID vaccines.


2025 Community Resource Fair

We hope to offer the Resource Fair in Fall 2025. We will post more details when the dates are confirmed.


2024 Community Resource Fair

With nearly 350 attendees, the fair had even more attendees than last year and was filled with energy and enthusiasm. The former Ulta space on the second floor of the Lloyd Center’s east wing transformed into a hub of information, assistance, and community spirit. It was wonderful to see a diverse group of community members, all eager to connect with the nearly 40 nonprofits, government agencies, and service providers present.

Our partners covered a wide range of essential services and topics, including healthcare sign-ups, utilities and bill payment assistance, food boxes, legal aid, health and wellbeing resources, and emergency preparedness. The flu and COVID vaccines available at the event were in high demand – we ran out of vaccines! We’ll plan for more next year!

We were dedicated to making the event accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Interpreters were available for Spanish, Chinese, and Vietnamese-speaking attendees, ensuring that language barriers did not prevent anyone from accessing the resources they needed. For our younger attendees, we had engaging kids’ activities, including painting pollinators, which were a hit!

Our partners at the Community Services Network have a recap report here and read more and see pictures from the fair on our blog here.
