NBRC Winter Resource Fair

We are excited to announce our first resource fair of 2025 for individuals and families served by NBRC!

We are eagerly anticipating our First Annual Winter Resource Fair, which will highlight social recreation activities available in our community. Alongside the resource fair, Aveanna Healthcare will offer presentations on a new financial management service designed to help fund social recreation activities. We hope this initiative will help eliminate barriers, enabling our community to access these valuable opportunities. Though this event will be hosted in Solano County, our NBRC community from all counties are welcome. Resources from all 3 counties will be invited to participate.

Join us at the Joseph A Nelson Community Center in Suisun City on Friday, February 28, 2025, from 10:30 AM to 1:00 PM. Stop by for a day filled with information and connection!

2025 NBRC Outreach Events

2024 was an amazing year for our outreach events! Last year, we had 1,900 individuals and families served by NBRC joined us at our gatherings, and it was an absolute joy to be able to connect with you all.

As we kick off 2025, we’re excited to keep organizing events that make it easier for everyone to learn about services and resources while bringing our NBRC community closer together. We have many outreach events lined up, including some that are becoming annual favorites—let’s make these new traditions together! We’ll keep you posted with all the details, and we’d love for you to join us again.
