HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A resource fair for those who have emergent financial needs in Hutchinson is coming up Monday, May 23 at the Hutchinson Public Library.
"The event will start at 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.," said David Dubovich with Park Place Christian Church. "We're asking agencies to be there at 9 a.m., of course, obviously to get things set up."
The intent is to have agencies on hand for rental assistance, utility assistance, food assistance and more to help the community get connected.
"We want people to feel that they are not alone in this, that we're there to help them," Dubovich said. "Here are some agencies that can help you, they will make the contacts, instead of handing them a list."
There will be an intake person who can direct people to the appropriate agencies for their needs.
"We know that the need is great," Dubovich said. "Not one organization can take care of it. It has to be all of us working together."
This is the first time they've been able to put the event together since early 2020, but the goal is to show people with immediate needs that there is a community that wants to help them get through rough times and give them hope.
