It was a pleasure to participate in the Youth One Stop Shop at Carver Recreation Center as the event celebrated its four-year anniversary.

Hosted by The Fountain Fund, the event brought together more than 40 community organizations to connect families with local programs, services, and resources. Thank you to everyone who helped make the event a success and to the many community members who joined us.

We look forward to participating again soon!
