We know that a New Year means many of us are evaluating our lives, making resolutions, and setting goals for 2026. However, it can be difficult to keep resolutions without help. Our goal in hosting the Fresh Start Expo is to help you learn about resources in the community that you may not know exist. Our desire is to both help people in our congregation and community find the support they need while giving local businesses an opportunity to highlight their goods and services.
This event is simply for you to walk around, visit the tables of local businesses or groups, and get information on how their goods or services might be beneficial to you.
The expo will feature businesses and organizations mainly focused on the wellness industry, whether it’s physical, mental, emotional, financial, or spiritual.
