Residents got a look at a large variety of resources along with some family friendly entertainment. At the Presque Isle Housing Authority, locals gathered for the authority’s first community resource fair. Organizers say the event was created to offer direct access to local resources, services, and support for locals.Travis Christie, Director of Operations for the authority said: “The intent is to help folks stay housed by bringing in resources, connecting them with resources, and trying to make them as economically independent and viable as possible. So, we thought we would gather as many resources as we could from the community and then introduce those resources to the residents of Presque Isle and the surrounding area.”The fair included resources from 27 local organizations and businesses for residents to connect with. “We have three general categories. We have healthcare. So, that’s everything from mental healthcare to physical healthcare. We have education. So, we have Northern Maine Community College. We also have Adult Ed and we have employment services. So, Tempo of Aroostook is here and then we have ACAP,” continued Christie.While the adults were busy connecting with local resources, most kids were busy having fun. “Getting some candy, playing with stuff, and playing some games because I just want to play a lot of games, have some fun, and do all the stuff here,” said one attendee, Kion Hodsdon.But some kids also took time to look at the local resources too. “I’m really thankful that they did this because I get to learn more about the resources and it’s more helpful. So, I can tell other people about it so then next time they’ll come,” added Avasah Hodsdon.The Presque Isle Housing Authority says they hope locals take away something useful that will help them in the future and that they look forward to hosting another community resource fair next year. They encourage any business or organization interested in attending next year’s community resource fair to reach out at 768-8231.</div></body>
