In response to the growing number of federal employees and contractors recently laid off, Council Member Wala Blegay (District 6) is hosting a resource fair for those who have been impacted. It will take place Friday, May 9, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at Greater Saint John Cathedral, 11425 Old Marlboro Pike, Upper Marlboro, MD 20772.
The event is designed to provide urgent support and access to new opportunities, including on-site hiring from up to 10 employers through a partnership with Employ Prince George’s, utility bill support, and food assistance.
“Many of our residents have served our country through federal employment and contracting work. Now that they’re facing uncertainty, we must stand with them,” said Council Member Blegay. “This resource fair is about more than assistance—it’s about restoring stability and hope.”
