We had a wonderful time attending the New Roots Community Resource Fair at the Geneva Public Library! It was great to see so many organizations come together to share resources on housing, healthcare, education, employment, and more. Events like these strengthen our region and ensure everyone has access to the support they need to thrive. Thanks to all the partners and attendees who made it happen!
