A free opportunity to connect with helpful service providers
Special to The Truth
From finding mental health services to getting a library card,
Lucas County Children Services (LCCS) is bringing together dozens of the area’s most helpful
service providers for its fifth annual Resource Fair. The event takes place August 12, from 10 am to 1 pm, at the LCCS offices, 301 Adams Street in downtown Toledo.
“We hear from a lot of our clients that they want to connect with services for their families, but don’t know where to begin looking for them,” says LaShawnda Holmes, LCCS coordinator of client services. “By bringing everyone together at one time and place, participants can gather written information and speak face-to-face with partner representatives to learn more
about their offerings in health care, wellness, mental health, parenting, mentoring, daycare, and many other important fields.” The goal is to empower families to become stronger, safer, and more stable. More than 50 community partners will be represented, including select LCCS programs.
Metered parking is available on streets surrounding the LCCS offices, and additional paid parking is available in the Superior Street garage. Admission to the Resource Fair is free.
The mission of Lucas County Children Services is to lead the community in the protection of children at risk of abuse and neglect. This is accomplished by working with families, service
and community members to assess risk and coordinate community-based services resulting in safe, stable, and permanent families for children.
