United Way of Franklin County is thrilled to announce the upcoming Community Info Expo, an exciting one-day event bringing together a diverse array of organizations, experts, and resources to provide valuable information to the public. This event is scheduled to take place on November 4th from 9am- 12pm at World Harvest Outreach, and it is open to all members of the community, free of charge.
The Expo is designed to be an informative and engaging gathering where attendees can access a wide range of resources, connect with local organizations, and gain knowledge on various topics that impact their lives. “Our aim is to empower our community by improving access to essential information, services, and opportunities,” says Amy Hicks, Executive Director of United Way.
Event Highlights:
- Information Booths: Local organizations, government agencies, non-profits, and community groups are invited to set up booths to provide information on services and supports they offer, such as healthcare, education, housing, employment, legal services, and more. Registration will be available on the website beginning mid-September. Space is limited.
- Educational Workshops: Throughout the day, there will be informative workshops and presentations conducted by experts in their respective fields. Topics will include financial literacy, health and wellness, career development, and much more.
- Networking Opportunities: The Expo will provide an excellent platform for attendees to connect with one another, as well as with representatives from organizations and agencies that can address their needs and concerns.
- Door Prizes and Giveaways: Prize drawings will occur hourly, generously donated by the local community.
