Bayshore Family Success Center to Host Resource Fair for Sandy Impacted Families June 17

The Bayshore Family Success Center, a branch of The Community YMCA, is hosting a Sandy Survivor Resource Fair on Tuesday, June 17, to help families still recovering from Superstorm Sandy.  More than 13 vendors will be available with resources for helping to rebuild and recover from the storm, nearly two years ago.

The event will take place in Middletown from 5-8 p.m. at the Middletown Public Library, 55 New Monmouth Rd., and include representatives from government agencies, assistance groups and other grassroots organizations such as:
>         180 Turning Lives Around
>         FoodBank of Monmouth & Ocean Counties
>         Habitat for Humanity
>         Monmouth County Long Term Recovery Group
>         Legal Services of New Jersey
>         Community Affairs & Resource Center

“The amount of people who still need assistance, almost two years after the storm is staggering,” said Bayshore Family Success Center Director Darcy Dobens.  “As an organization dedicated to strengthening communities, the Center is pleased to assemble resources together in one place to assist families,” she added.

The resource fair is open to all, and registration is recommended but not required.  Children are welcome and light refreshments will be served.
