Free community event to include professional, educational and holistic health resources
Flint, MI – Communities First, Inc., a local nonprofit, invites community members to attend a free event focused on building wealth. The Wealthy You 2022 Resource Fair will occur on Saturday, April 23rd at Christ Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church, located at 317 E. Hamilton St. Flint, MI 48505. The event is from 12 – 3 p.m., with a light lunch served from 12 – 1 p.m. and the resource fair to occur from 1 – 3 p.m.
“We wanted to go beyond holding a resource fair to offer opportunities where individuals can receive ample support for redefining their wealth,” said Ashley Strozier, family mobility coordinator at Communities First, Inc.
“Wealth for us can be placed into four different categories: financial, professional, physical and mental,” Strozier added. “So often, we focus solely on how much money we have in the bank as an indicator of wealth. We have to broaden that definition to look holistically at how we value our own lives.”
This collaborative event will bring together like-minded organizations that are passionate about helping community members succeed in 2022. Along with free professional certification opportunities and professional resources, attendees can connect with banking partners, physical and mental health providers, local workforce development programs and more.
“There is something for everyone,” said Glenn Wilson, president/CEO of Communities First, Inc.
“Along with helpful resources, we’ll have free food, fun and $2,000 worth of prizes,” Wilson added. “We’re excited to bring these important community resources and unique opportunities together in one place.”
Participant registration is encouraged to be eligible for prizes but not required. To register visit www.tinyurl.com/CFICert2022
