HARRISONBURG, Va. (ROCKTOWN NOW) – Strength In Peers and Open Doors are partnering to host a community resource fair later this month to celebrate National Recovery Month.

Executive Director of Open Doors Nate Riddle says the fair is a collaborative effort involving more than 20 local non-profit organizations, businesses and government agencies that come together to support Harrisonburg and Rockingham County residents who have lower incomes, are unhoused or have recently returned from incarceration.

“This event is another example of our community coming together to serve the often unseen and underserved,” Riddle said. “It is also another way that we are living our mission of providing compassionate support and access to services for all.”

The third annual fair will be Saturday, Sept. 14 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Rockingham County Administration Building Parking Lot.
