On Wednesday, March 8, a County Resource Fair will be held at the El Garces Historic Train Depot, 950 Front Street in Needles. The event will mark the first time in nearly 20 years that San Bernardino County has deployed this number of agencies to one location in the Needles area. Residents of the Tri-State region can access various resources from county, state, and local organizations.
At the Resource Fair, representatives from the County Assessor-Recorder-Clerk office will be issuing copies of vital records (birth, death, and marriage certificates), providing document recording, and property assessment information. The San Bernardino County Public Defender's Office will also be on hand to offer record-clearing and expungement assistance. In addition, the San Bernardino County Department of Veterans Affairs will be available to answer questions about VA benefits and claims-related questions and issue County Veteran ID cards.
Other participating agencies will include:
• San Bernardino County Workforce Development Board
• San Bernardino County Department of Behavioral Health
• San Bernardino County Transitional Assistance Department (TAD)
• Needles Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center
• Colorado River Medical Center
• Tri-State Community Healthcare Clinic
• Needles Tourism and Visitors Center
• City of Needles
• VFW Auxiliary Post 404 Mohave Valley
• Palo Verde College Needles Center
Advance registration for the event is optional but encouraged, especially for those seeking help with veteran’s benefits, record-clearing, or employment resources. Residents can obtain registration information by calling 760-366-1414 or by scanning the QR code on the event flyer.
