Community groups in Snoqualmie Valley are joining together to hold a resource fair to help local families in tough times.
The organization, One Voice, includes more than 20 groups.
The Resource Fair is 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. June 10, at Cascade Covenant Church, 13225 436th Ave. S.E., North Bend. More than 30 organizations are expected to participate, and there will be no admission charge.
The fair is a one-stop source for local resources.
Among the participants will be Affordable Access, Encompass, Habitat for Humanity, Hopelink, King County Public Health, Mount Si Helping Hands Food Bank, Saint Vincent de Paul, Snoqualmie Valley Alliance’s mobile clinic, Solid Ground, the Washington Department of Social and Health Services and Worksource.
There also will be summer-care packages, which will include sun block, lip balm, bubbles, sidewalk chalk, coloring pages and a small toy.
Families also will find summer clothing for all ages, flip-flops, free haircuts, developmental screenings provided by Encompass, toiletries, Frisbees, water bottles and dental products.
People can help by collecting items for donation, including flip-flops, diapers, toilet paper, laundry soap and new or gently used summer clothing for all ages.
Donations can be dropped off at Encompass in North Bend during business hours. Donated items will be stored at Eastside Self Storage, which has contributed space for the effort.
