Project Connect 2025 — A New Tradition Begins


Project Connect was created as a one-day event to connect individuals and families facing challenges with the vital resources they need most. By bringing together local businesses, non-profits, and service providers under one roof, this community-driven fair offers immediate help for housing instability, financial hardships, healthcare, and so much more. It’s all about breaking down barriers and building up hope for a stronger tomorrow.
​
And what an incredible first year it was! From full backpacks and happy kids to families leaving with food, resources, and renewed confidence — Project Connect made a real impact. None of it would have been possible without our amazing sponsors, volunteers, partners, and the overwhelming support of our community.
​
This was only the beginning — and we can’t wait to see you at Project Connect 2026 for an even bigger and better event!
