Community Calendar

Better Together, a nonprofit on a mission to build strong families and communities, is partnering with West Haven Baptist Church to host a community job fair on Thursday, April 23, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Registration is now open for job seekers and employers to participate in the April event. With a spirit of hope and celebration, the church-based job fairs empower job seekers by connecting them with local employers who are ready to hire, while offering supportive services that foster meaningful connections and increase opportunities for lasting employment. Free one-on-one job coaching sessions are available to participants to review resumes, and additional services will be available onsite.
