Port Houston’s annual Community Resource Fair returned this December with its most visited event to date, welcoming 7,051 community members for a day focused on care, opportunity, and meaningful connection. What began years ago as an outreach initiative has grown into a marquee event that travels across the different communities near the Houston Ship Channel.
Eighty-two partnering organizations joined in this year’s fair, offering free healthcare screenings, workforce and education services, and more. Attendees received essential donated items, including household goods, toys, clothing, and other necessities. For many families, this free event provided a one-stop shop to find public resources available in the city, that help tackle critical issues like food insecurity and affordable healthcare.
“This event is about meeting people where they are and helping them access the resources they need to thrive,” said Maria Aguirre, Director of Community Relations. “When our partners come together for the community, everyone benefits.”
The value of the fair was felt throughout the day. Children took part in activities and brought home holiday photos with Santa, while families received one of the 500 trees distributed to encourage greener and healthier neighborhoods. At the same time, volunteers and staff members connected directly with neighbors they serve year-round, strengthening the relationships that are central to our community work.
The strength of our organization is closely connected to the well-being of the region we serve. As an organization committed to driving regional prosperity, investing in people and communities helps create long-term growth and opportunity. When families have access to resources, education, and support, the region is better positioned to thrive.
