It is back-to-school season, and this August the Reconnect to Opportunity (ReOpp) team hosted the fifth annual High School Resource fair with 23 community partners and 466 community members participating.
The resource fair was initially launched in the summer of 2020 as a drive-through resource fair to connect families to basic needs items for school such as food, school supplies, and backpacks. The fair has become a fixture and draws consistent turnout from the community and organizational partners.
This year the ReOpp team distributed 250 backpacks filled with school supplies, hundreds of pounds of food, and other community resources.
ReOpp is a reengagement program that connects young people ages 16-24 to education and employment resources.
