A ‘Touch a Truck - Touch a Life’ event was held in Charleroi on Saturday, September 14, 2019, to help local families in need. Over 1,000 people attended the event.

Adam Bridge of Belle Vernon, who just turned 4 years old, experiences a fire truck for the first time.

Formerly known as ‘Day of Hope’, the inspirational event in its fifth year, was held at Charleroi Trustees Community Park. City Reach Church partnered with Christian Center Church in Rostraver Twp. to put the event together. They organized the Touch a Truck section as well as the vendor show and food trucks.

The event gave children the opportunity to have up-close and personal interaction with emergency vehicles such as police cars, fire trucks, and construction vehicles. The event also featured a ‘Kids’ Zone’ with a bounce house, obstacle courses, big games, face painting, and more. There was also free entertainment, free haircuts, free clothing, free school supplies, community center info., vendor tables, crafters, and food trucks.

Pastor Gregg Anders of City Reach Church said, “My wife and I want to bring hope, kindness, and love to our community. We want to touch our community. And this event allows us to do that.”
