On Friday, December 12, Inland Regional Center hosted its Winter Wonderland Christmas Resource Fair, welcoming over 100 attendees for an evening of community, connection, and holiday cheer.
This event was an LACC Project funded by the Department of Developmental Services (DDS) and is planned to continue as an annual Service Access & Equity (SAE) Team event. Designed to engage families with little to no Purchase of Services (POS), Winter Wonderland provided a warm, inclusive space for families to connect with IRC and community resources.
Families enjoyed dinner, children’s crafts, and an ASL story time, while 20 community partners, including SAE grantee community-based organizations, shared resources and support. The event was made possible through collaboration with 24HR, Inroads, Chasing 7 Dreams, the Community Engagement Team, and other community partners.
“I wanted to express my gratitude for the invitation to your event last Friday. The feedback from families and parents was overwhelmingly positive, and one of our trainers had an excellent experience—it was her first time attending.”
— Jamyne Randolph, Community Partner
Winter Wonderland highlighted IRC’s continued commitment to reducing disparities, strengthening partnerships, and expanding equitable access for the families we serve.
