NORWALK, Calif. - April 30, 2010 - Cerritos College Re-Entry Resource Program hosted its second annual Community Resource Fair Thursday, April 29. Nearly 30 local social service and community resource agencies participated. Representatives at each booth provided information and giveaways and answered questions about their services.

County District Attorney’s Office, Loving to Learn Association, Pioneer Medical Group, Southern California Rehabilitation Services among others.
“It’s a great event gathers various services available to us in one spot,” said a community member who were at the event.
“I was able to find out about education programs for my five-year-old in our school district.”
