The Erlanger Dodson Avenue Community Health Center is hosting a free “Get to Know Your Community Resources Fair” on Monday from 9 a.m.-1 p.m.
Those attending the fair will obtain information from community resources and organizations regarding housing, food bank, mental health, primary health and employment opportunities, among others.
The purpose of October’s service event is to provide a “one stop shop” for those seeking assistance and safety net resources available to them in the community.
Participating organizations include the Chattanooga Housing Authority, Chattanooga Food Bank, Hamilton County Health Department, CADAS, Catholic Charities, Mental Health Co-Op, Families First, League of Women Voters and CVS Pharmacy.
Angel Moore, CEO of the Erlanger Community Health Centers, expressed appreciation to all the participating organizations “for their support of this community resources fair and commitment to serving residents of Hamilton County.”

"The Southside and Dodson Avenue Community Health Centers’ focus for over 50 years is to provide primary and preventive medical care for people of all ages, including prenatal and OB/GYN services, as well as dental care for adults. The centers also offer educational information on nutrition, exercise programs, diabetes, hypertension and how to stop smoking. These services are a part of the centers' approach to providing high-quality clinical care regardless of the patients’ ability to pay and a reflection of their service to the community," officials said.
