The event was organized by community organization Steelton Highspire United and Transformation Church and Ministries.
“Because of the way we’re designed, we’re designed to be together, we’re designed to have fellowship, so I think that that’s a natural inclination for people to want to congregate together,” Transformation Church and Ministries Pastor Eric Birden, Jr. said.
More than 30 community leaders and local officials also spoke on the importance of family and gave tips on parenting.
The event was free for all moms, dads, and kids.
