Goldendale Resource Fair

Goldendale Community Resource Fair set for June 5

Task Force includes week-long Passport Walk activities

Goldendale, WA (March 25, 2024) - The first week of June will be busy in downtown Goldendale. The East Houseless Task Force invites partners to connect with area residents in a week of activities highlighted by a Community Resource Fair at the Grange Hall on June 5.

Organizations plan to open their doors the week of June 3-7 so visitors can learn more about the services they offer. Community members will be able to pick up a ‘passport’ with the goal of stopping by all participating offices to make connections and pick up resources. Each office will have a stamp to put in the passport, and when a booklet is full, it can be turned in for a chance to win a prize. All are welcome to join the fun.

The efforts stem from a meeting on houselessness held in November 2024 with the City of Goldendale, Klickitat County Commissioners, Law Enforcement, Washington Gorge Action Programs, and other service providers. The Task Force realized that a large portion of the population did not know what resources were available to low-income individuals and families to help them enjoy stable living conditions and lead happy, healthy lives.

Partners can sign up for the Resource Fair and Passport Walk by contacting info@wagap.org. The event will be held in the Goldendale Grange at 228 E Darland from 1:00 to 6:00 p.m., and mobile units are also welcome to set up in the parking lot. Passports can be stamped throughout the week during regular business hours.
