Community Resource Fair, continued ...

“We have been experiencing an unprecedented number of requests for help from families in our community,” says Margie Wakeham, executive director of Families Forward. “And for most of these families this is an entirely new situation.

“We are thrilled at the response from the community, including the city of Irvine, the county, Irvine Valley College and of course all of the healthcare, legal, professional and other organizations that are participating,” continues Wakeham. “Best of all, it is all free.”

Free workshops range from foreclosure prevention to medical services and include health insurance enrollment and referrals. Consultations in such areas as career, housing and financial are also available.

Children’s activities such as face painting, arts and crafts, reading and free books and a puppet show will keep the kids entertained.

Irvine Valley College is located at 5500 Irvine Center Drive. For more information, go to families-forward.org, or call 949.552.2727
