2025 Resource Fair Success!

On Saturday, June 7, the Kennedy-Donovan Center (KDC) hosted its annual Community Resource Fair at 385 County Street in New Bedford. The event welcomed families, community members, and over 30 local organizations for a day focused on connection, support, and inclusive community engagement.

Running from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., the fair offered attendees a chance to explore a wide range of services available throughout the South Coast region. KDC staff and partner organizations were present to share resources, answer questions, and highlight programs supporting individuals with developmental disabilities and their families.

Event Highlights

  • Community Resources: More than 30 local organizations participated, including Beacon ABA Services, Community Autism Resources, New Bedford EMS, PACE Head Start, and KDC’s own programs such as Early Intervention and Family Services.

  • Touch-a-Truck: Families had the opportunity to engage with local first responders and explore fire trucks, police cruisers, and other emergency vehicles.

  • Live Performances: Students from the Dance and Gymnastics Academy of Dartmouth performed on-site, bringing energy and excitement to the event.

  • Family Activities: The fair featured games, giveaways, a tattoo station, chalk art, and live music provided by Fun 107, making it a fun and accessible outing for all ages.

KDC’s Foster Care team also participated, providing information and outreach on foster care needs throughout the region.

A Stronger Community Through Collaboration

The Resource Fair serves as a key annual outreach initiative for KDC, helping build meaningful connections between families and the service providers that support them. It also creates opportunities for individuals to learn more about local programs, access community-based resources, and participate in a day of inclusive family fun.
