Austin Energy Community Resource Fair Scheduled

AUSTIN, TX — Austin Energy has scheduled its annual Community Connections Resource Fair for next weekend.

The family-friendly event combines fun with learning to assist our customers who sometimes could use a little help to meet basic needs, organizers explained. Local service providers and cCity departments host this annual event where attendees can expect fun and informative demonstrations and presentations on community assistance resources available for moderate-to-low income families in the Austin area.

This year's event is scheduled on Saturday, Oct. 19, at Lanier High School (now known as Juan Navarro High School), 1201 Payton Gin Rd.
