Holden To Host 26th Annual Community Resource Fair and Block Party
By ANDRÈ COLEMAN, Managing Editor
Former Assemblymember and current LA Fire Justice CEO Chris Holden will host the 26th Annual Community Resource Fair and Block Party on Saturday, Aug. 23, from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. on the 500 block of East Jackson Street in Pasadena.
The event, presented in partnership with LA Fire Justice, aims to support resilience for Altadena businesses and families by connecting residents with essential community resources, entertainment, and opportunities to support local enterprises.
The family-friendly gathering will feature games, live music, and information booths from local nonprofits and public agencies.
Attendees will also have a chance to shop with local vendors and businesses.
In previous years, the block party has drawn families and civic leaders from across the San Gabriel Valley.
Organizers say this year’s event continues the tradition of combining fun with public service, aiming to foster community resilience in the face of economic and social challenges.
The event is free and open to the public.
