Annual Senior Resource Expo Set for May 22

The Annual Senior Resource Expo will be held at Tulare Community Church, 1820 N. Gem St., Tulare, from 8:30 a.m. to noon on May 22.

Organized by the Senior Care Organization, this year's event will feature a financial planning presentation from Steen & Associates, and the Tulare Police Department will share tips on how to recognize and avoid scams.

Popular among older adults and their caregivers, the Senior Resource Expo will again offer information about an array of services and activities for the senior care community. The event will feature exhibits and presentations, as well as music, food, and volunteer opportunities for seniors and their caregivers.

The Senior Care Organization has a long history of supporting the needs of seniors in the South Valley. The Senior Resource Expo was created to provide seniors with the information and resources they need to stay well and live quality lives.

This event is also a resource for anyone who is caring for a loved one. Representatives from different organizations that help with seniors and their caregivers will be on hand to provide information on housing, healthcare, in-home services, transportation and more. A raffle ticket, a continental breakfast and a lunch are included with the $5 admission..

There are two opportunities for the public to participate in this event. The first option is in-person with limited access to exhibitors – attendees will receive a packet with information from those exhibitors. The second option is to attend virtually via YouTube or Facebook live-stream. (You must be registered to receive the link.)

This year's event incorporates several changes in response to the pandemic. The facility allows for social distancing. There will be hand sanitation stations, and masks will be available. This year's lunch will not be a buffet, but instead a packaged lunch will be handed to attendees.

Early registrants will be entered to win prizes at the event and receive updates about the event. To register, or for general information or exhibitor inquiries, call (559) 667-9601 or email seniorcaretkc@gmail.com.
