TIFTON — The Community Care Day Resource Expo will be held on Saturday, March 10, 9 a.m. to noon, at the Tift County Recreation Department. This free event, open to the public, includes health and wellness information, medical screenings, refreshments, giveaways and fun activities for children.

Community Care Day is sponsored by the Tift County Recreation Department, Tift Regional Medical Center, WellCare, South Georgia Learning Resources System (GLRS), the Tift County Commission on Children and Youth, the Tift County Board of Education, ABAC, the Tift County Health Department, the Jay Deason Fund and other community partners.  

Beth Lewis, planning committee member, said the goal of this annual event is to raise awareness about available resources in the community in the areas of fitness, disability, wellness, recreation, personal development, counseling, financial guidance, employment, education and more. 

“We know it is often difficult for individuals and families to locate and access the resources they need, and this event is a tremendous opportunity to discover the resources available in our community,” said Lewis.  “It is always inspiring to see a community pull together with caring efforts to support one another and meet the needs of others.”

Lewis said the Community Care Day Resource Expo will be an event the whole family can enjoy.

“We encourage the community to bring the whole family to the event for a day of fun,” she said.
