“We want the community to know that Doe River Baptist Church cares about them,” Pastor Wayne Lyons said. “While we may not be able to directly provide them with many resources, we want to make sure we connect them with organizations that can.”

The resource fair will be held on Wednesday, June 12, from 9 a.m. til noon in the Christian Life Center behind Doe River Baptist Church, 113 Avon St., Valley Forge Community.
