More than 25 community resource providers will be at American Legion Post 113 in Elizabethtown from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Friday, April 11 as the Hardin County Sheriff’s Office hosts their Community Resource Fair.
“We’re trying to get as many resources together as possible to help any victim of crime, just to meet them where they are and give them the opportunity to grow,” said HCSO Victim Advocate Anna Dahl.
The fair is being held as part of National Crime Victims’ Rights Week, which highlights community awareness for the rights of victims of crime and available services.
“There are going to be over 1,500 different community projects that are promoted all over,” Dahl said. “We’re just really excited that so many victims of crime, they’re going to be heard.”
The sheriff’s office received a grant award from the National Association of VOCA Assistance Administrators through the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office for Victims of Crime to host the fair as a community awareness project.
In addition to community resource providers, Homeland Security Victim Assistance Specialist Annisha Dunaway will be speaking at the event.
“She’s going to be talking about human trafficking that’s been happening between Tennessee all the way up to Indiana,” Dahl said. “She covers that area, and will discuss ways that we can help and things that are just happening throughout the area.”
All are welcome to attend. Visit the Hardin County Sheriff’s Office, Kentucky Facebook page for more information on the fair.
