The Healthy Mom’s program offers services for local mothers and prospective mothers, including pregnancy education classes, job training and mental health counseling.

More than 40 organizations came together for Thursday’s Family Resource Fair, which offered free giveaways, a clothing rack, raffles, a food pantry and back-to-school supplies.

“When you’re here, you get to meet people, you get to learn more about their needs, their interests, their fears, their hopes – all the things,” said Melissa Suchodolski, the president of USC Builds, a contractor and real-estate development organization. “I think a lot of the service providers and agencies that are here really do a lot of great work in the community.”
