Unity in Community is a FREE family-friendly event that seeks to unite people in working toward common goals, celebrating shared values, and supporting one another, regardless of their differences. It’s about fostering a sense of belonging, cooperation, and mutual respect, where everyone feels included and empowered to contribute to the well-being of the community. Coming together and valuing each person’s unique strengths and perspectives creates a stronger, more connected, and more compassionate community.

The event will feature 10 local non-profit organizations hosting interactive booths, providing information about their services, and encouraging community engagement. The Raven Radio will be on site broadcasting live!
