Family Fun Day
Trinity Youth Services foster care and adoptions agency is hosting a free community event on November 2, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., at 3891 Ridge Road, Riverside that will inspire and motivate families to support foster youth in the Inland Empire.
The anticipated gathering will feature keynote speaker, Ashley McGuire, acclaimed spoken word artists Pretty Blaq, and Concrete Rose, as well as the Old School 107.4 FM street team, who will be on site playing hits from the past.
