The Department of Community Development and the North Chattanooga Neighborhood Association invite the public to the annual North Chattanooga Family Resource Expo and Fall Festival taking place on Saturday, Sept. 28 from 1-4 p.m. at the North Chattanooga Community Center, 406 May St.
This event encourages awareness of local programs, resources and education focused on family health and wellness.
“Our Community Centers have so much to offer residents of their neighborhoods and beyond,” said Lea Anne Wiles, member of the Chattanooga Community Advisory Committee.
“This event gives everyone the chance to tour the North Chattanooga Community Center, to see where they can socialize and participate in educational and recreational activities. It also showcases services offered by the City of Chattanooga and other organizations around town.”
Health vendors like the Office of Community Health will have nurse navigators on site to educate people on blood pressure and blood sugar screenings. Erlanger Community Health will administer free COVID-19 vaccines, along with information from several other local health organizations. Outreach programs such as McNabb Center, Family Justice Center, Girl Scouts, Head Start and more will be in attendance. Residents can enjoy food trucks, games for all ages, a live radio broadcast from Power94 and brief remarks from city officials.
