The annual Community Care Day featuring free resources in the areas of health, fitness, safety, and disability information will be held on Saturday, March 9 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Tift County Recreation Department.

Community Care Day is sponsored by ABAC, the Jay Deason Fund, Tift County Recreation Department (TCRD), Tift Regional Health System, Tift County Health Department, Tift County Commission on Children and Youth, Tift County, Tiftarea Greenways Association, South Central Georgia Learning Resources System and the Tift County Board of Education.  

Community members will have access to a variety of resources including health screenings, recreational and personal development programs, fitness, disability information, counseling, financial guidance, employment, education and social security.

Planning committee member Beth Lewis states, “It is always inspiring to see a community pull together to meet the needs of others. 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.”

Community Care Day 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,” said Lewis, “In addition to the screenings and resource information, we will have free food, costumed characters and a bounce house for the kids.”
