DOTHAN, Ala. (WDNews) — Families can learn about local support services and meet the people behind them during the first Align Advocacy Day on Friday, Nov. 13.
The free community event, hosted by Align Network, will run from 1 to 6 p.m. at The Plant, 308 N. St. Andrews St. in Dothan.
The event will highlight resources for mental health, substance abuse recovery, education, housing, homelessness support, parenting and other community needs.
Stephanie Harden, founder and president of Align Network, said the goal is to help people connect with organizations serving the Wiregrass.
“Advocacy Day is more than an event. It’s about bringing our community together, shining a light on the incredible organizations serving the Wiregrass, and reminding people that help and hope are never far away. When we connect people to resources, we don’t just change circumstances — we change lives.”
Children are encouraged to dress as their favorite superheroes as the event celebrates the community’s everyday heroes.
Free face painting will be available for children, and food trucks will be on-site.
Organizers invite families to come together, explore available resources and learn about the people working to build a stronger community.
