County block party
Residents from across Contra Costa are invited to the county’s annual block party, which seeks to facilitate connections with county and city staff and their constituents, in addition to providing a range of attractions and entertainment.
“The County Block Party is about bringing county services directly to the people we serve,” Vice Chair Burgis said in an announcement Thursday. “By gathering so many resources in one place, we’re making it easier for East County residents to get the help they need—while also enjoying time together as a community.”
Those resources are set to include voter registration, vital records, and Veterans Benefits, CalFresh, and Medi-Cal applications, with representatives from across the county’s departments on hand.
The event is scheduled for 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Aug. 28 in the Antioch Community Center at 4703 Lone Tree Way. More information is available here.
