Each year, the Educational Resources Street Fair raises awareness and advocates for the needs of children, youth, and families from low-wage households. The fair began in 2002 as a social justice outreach program of the Peoples Institutional Baptist Church in Seattle. The fair has grown to become a highly successful partnership between public and private institutions. Casey Family Program is proud to be a sponsor again this year.
