Statesboro Village Builders will host its second “Family Fun Resource Day” on Saturday, January 20 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Statesboro STEAM Academy (1718 Northside Drive E, Statesboro). Members of the community are invited to attend a day of entertainment filled with music, interactive games, and onsite resources. Kids can enjoy face painting, arts and crafts, and a bounce house. There will also be free food, books, and door prizes.
“Our community can only thrive when we remain diligent and connected to it,” says Dr. LaSara Mitchell, Statesboro Village Builders Coordinator. “When we come together and connect in positive ways, change happens and hope is inspired. Village Builders resource days are a chance for members of our community to receive what they need, and sometimes all they need is a little kindness and a helping hand.
While families are enjoying the entertainment, they’re encouraged to explore a variety of resources and services from over 40 vendors. There will be onsite redeemable resources including healthcare exams, vaccines, screenings, financial assistance forms, hot food, free clothing and more.
Family Fun Resource Day is presented in partnership with the City of Statesboro, Hills Mortuary, Statesboro Regional Library, Restoring The Breach, LoSeED, Statesboro Community Youth Network, Statesboro Youth Council, and Statesboro Police Department.
Statesboro Village Builders was conceived in January 2023 by the City of Statesboro’s Youth Commission and Mayor Jonathan McCollar in collaboration with community stakeholders. Statesboro Village Builders aims to be a community-wide youth development program that offers a comprehensive approach to ensure that all youth in Statesboro and their families have support in becoming the best version of themselves.
