More Than Fun – A Gateway to Community Resources
The Playfest is more than just a day of fun – it’s also a Community Resource Fair, giving families a one-stop shop to learn about the life-changing services offered by Southwest Human Development and other local nonprofits.
This year’s event also introduces Southwest Human Development’s newest Ambassador families. These inspiring families, who have benefited from SWHD’s services, will share their personal stories to help other parents navigate the joys and challenges of raising young children.
Make this March a month to remember. Let’s celebrate the joy of childhood together at the Thrive to Five Playfest – where play paves the way for brighter futures!
