3rd Annual Rahway Community Resource Fair Brings Together Friends and Neighbors Once Again

RAHWAY, NJ — On Saturday, July 20, Rahway's Ebenezer AME Church and the nonprofit New Jersey Citizen Action Education Fund held another successful Rahway Community Resource Fair. This was the 3rd annual event, bringing together members of the community, a variety of organizations, and other local advocates for a terrific afternoon where, for once, the weather seemed to cooperate.

The inimitable Reverend Dr. Marti Robinson, pastor of Ebenezer AME, was on hand, as usual, welcoming the guests and introducing the speakers.
