YOLO COUNTY, CA (MPG) - The Yolo County Sustainability Division, in partnership with Valley Clean Energy (VCE), the De Colores Resource Center and Cool Davis, will host a free, family-friendly Energy & Resilience Resource Fair on Saturday, Oct. 18, from noon to 3 p.m. at the RISE Community Center located at 17340 Yolo Ave. in Esparto.

The fair will connect residents with tools and resources to save money, improve home comfort and strengthen community resilience. Attendees can receive free DIY weatherization kits – including take home supplies like LED bulbs, weather-stripping and insulation materials to cut energy costs, while supplies last.

There will be information about electric bills and incentives, with the opportunity to chat with Valley Clean Energy representatives about your electric bill and learn about Valley Clean Energy’s free Electric Advisors Hotline.

Additionally, attendees will receive natural disaster preparedness resources, expert advice on home improvements and electric vehicle (EV) guidance, as well as the opportunity to meet local electric vehicle drivers. 

Enjoy activities for all ages, free refreshments and community connections.

This event is part of the Yolo Energy Partnership (YEP), a county program designed to help residents lower utility costs, improve energy efficiency and build resilience, particularly in unincorporated and rural areas. Yolo Energy Partnership supports the County’s goal of achieving carbon negativity by 2030 while centering equity and serving households most in need of support.
