The United Way of the Upper Ohio Valley is set to host a resource fair on October 8 in Wheeling, aimed at connecting individuals and families with crucial local resources and services. Scheduled from 10 a. m. to noon at Family Services, the event will feature participation from 26 local partner agencies. These organizations will provide valuable information regarding various services available to the community.

The resource fair not only serves as a hub for information but also emphasizes the importance of community engagement in addressing local needs. By offering a centralized location for families to access multiple resources, the fair aims to alleviate barriers that prevent individuals from seeking help. Local leaders encourage attendance, highlighting the fair as an opportunity for residents to learn about the support available to them. This initiative underscores the commitment of local agencies to enhance the quality of life for Wheeling residents. The event is free and open to the public, making it accessible to all who may benefit from the services provided.
