Active Re-Entry will be hosting a Drive-thru Community Resource Fair on November 19 from 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm at their parking lot which is located at 10 South Fairgrounds Road. This is a free opportunity to learn about the various services that are offered by different agencies in the area.

“So we’re going to do a Drive-thru Community Resource Fair, this is to get local agency information out into the community for people with disabilities, and just people that want the information in general. We’re looking for other partnering agencies to come out and pass out that information,” said Coordinator, Chris Haycock. Any agency that would like to be a part of this Community Resource Fair can contact Haycock at Active Re-Entry at (435) 637-4950.

This health fair type of event will take place outdoors in the parking lot area of Active Re-Entry where folks will remain in their cars while obtaining the various information. “Show up, drive through, we’re going to have each agency will have a spot and you’ll just drive through, we’ll hand you the information through the window. We’ll all be wearing masks, everybody will just stay in their vehicles, drive through, drive in and out,” said Haycock. One of the sponsors of the event will be handing out Thanksgiving family fun packs, and there will be some prizes awarded during the event.

Active Re-Entry is an organization that assists those with disabilities. “So Active Re-Entry is one of the six independent living centers in Utah. We span seven counties 27,000 square miles. We have up to three satellite offices at a time, and basically what we do is help people live as independently as they would like to live,” said Coordinator, Derek Jensen. The agency assists folks as young as 8 years old to adults. They have various support groups set up for individuals to enjoy. The groups are now being offered via Zoom because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
