ALBANY – Sowega Council on Aging will host its Summer Regional Senior Resource Fair 9 a.m. to noon Friday, June 14, at Lakeside Assembly of God, 146 Tara St. in Moultrie.

This free event, serving seniors and caregivers from Colquitt and Thomas counties, seeks to connect seniors with resources that are designed to improve the lives of the aging community, according to a press release from the Council on Aging.

This event is part of the Georgia Seniors Farmers Market Nutrition Program – a federally funded program that offers fresh fruits and vegetables to eligible participants at approved market sites each year. Farmers Market participants also receive nutrition and health education on the benefits of fresh fruits and vegetables, the press release said.

In addition to the Farmers Market, participants will enjoy free giveaways and can connect with other Aging Network Providers to learn more about services and activities to enrich their lives.

“We love events like these because they are at the heart of our mission,” said Izzie Sadler, executive director of SCOA. “We coordinate a system of services for seniors. That means SCOA is a resourcing organization – we connect people with the services and providers they need.”
