One Stop, Endless Resources:
Bienvenidos a Bliss Relocation Fair
| | |
New to Fort Bliss? The 21st Annual Bienvenidos a Bliss Relocation Fair is the event for you! This event connects new Soldiers and families with everything they need to settle into Fort Bliss and the El Paso area... all under one roof!
The Relocation Fair serves as a welcome hub, bringing together more than 60 local sponsors, vendors, charities, and community organizations who are ready to welcome military families. Rather than running from office to office, attendees can gather information, ask questions, and access services all in one place. Soldiers and their families will walk away with vital information from community partners, essential transition tools, and resources to support a smooth start in the Fort Bliss and El Paso area.
The benefits are endless! Here's a snapshot of what's waiting for you:
-
Community Partner Networking: Meet local sponsors, vendors, charities, and organizations.
-
Transition & Stress Support: Get expert guidance on PCS moves and practical tips for managing the emotional and logistical stress of relocation.
-
Financial & Career Readiness: Receive budgeting help for moving costs and access the Employment Readiness Program for résumé support, license transfers, and local hiring connections.
-
Family & Youth Services: Connect with the Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP), Child & Youth Services (CYS), and the School Liaison Office to get your family settled and your kids enrolled.
-
Household & Safety Needs: Learn about the community lending closet for temporary household items, and take advantage of safety events including car seat checks and child passenger safety demonstrations.
