This free event is designed to help parents, caregivers and individuals discover the wide ranges of resources available throughout Milwaukee and Waukesha counties. Guests can explore a variety of booths and meet local service providers at an event dedicated to connection, inclusion and community support.
“Our Resource Fair is such a unique opportunity to connect with so many valuable organizations and services all in one room,” Adaptive Recreation Specialist Katie Lindgren said. “It’s a great event for families just beginning to navigate the world of disability services as well as for those looking to discover new resources and support for their loved ones."
At the fair, organizations are highlighted that offer services for individuals with disabilities from birth through adulthood. Each year this event continues to grow with support from our community. In 2024, we had 45 vendors for this event and over 100 attendees. This year we look to host 53 vendors along with two title sponsors: Communities of Crocus and Let Us Ride Adaptive Bicycles. Communities of Crocus creates supportive homes for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, while Let Us Ride ensures people of all ages and abilities can experience the joy and freedom of biking.
Whether you’re seeking support for a child with a disability, an adult looking for community-based programs or a caregiver hoping to build your resource network — this event is for you!
