West Side Day resource fair draws more than 40 vendors to Maddox Park

The first annual West Side Day Resource Fair at Maddox Park in Atlanta's City Council District 3 featured more than 40 vendors offering information and services ranging from federal programs to city resources, an event speaker said.

The fair, described in opening remarks as a one-stop resource event, included representatives from multiple levels of government and city offices. "We have over 40 plus vendors, all with information from the federal level all the way down to the city level with information and resources for the residents," the event representative said. The speaker also noted appearances by "Congresswoman William," "State Representative Barry," the Boardwalk office and the Allsopp office.

Georgia Power and other service providers staffed booths to share program information. The event representative said attendees were enjoying the fair and encouraged residents to visit the tables for assistance. "If you miss this year, there will be next year. West Side Day. Peace out. A town down," the event representative added.

Organizers presented the fair as a local opportunity for residents to learn about discounts, assistance programs and city services without having to visit multiple offices. No formal actions or votes took place at the resource fair; the event was described by speakers as a community outreach effort focused on connecting residents to services.

Details about individual vendor offerings, eligibility requirements or application processes were not specified at the event beyond summaries announced by booth representatives.
