Cape Fear Community College will host the annual Harvest Health, Wellness and Safety Fair Monday, Oct. 15. The expo will start at 10 a.m. and run until 1 p.m. at the downtown campus.
Approximately 80 venders representing a wide variety of businesses, health organizations and educational resources will be set up in the Schwartz Center. During the expo there will be free manicures, food samples, spinal adjustments and assessments.
“The purpose of the event is to raise awareness of the local health organizations and resources available in the Cape Fear Region,” said CFCC Public Information Officer David Hardin.
EMS representatives will conduct CPR demonstrations and free flu shots will be given to anyone with a valid health insurance card. The cost of a shot without insurance is $40.
Hardin said the event will also host veteran services to help veterans coming back from active duty get acclimated to civilian life. Counselors will be available to veterans for advice about adjusting to college life and to give information about financial veterans’ benefits.
The CFCC Schwartz Center is at 601 North Front St. All guests can park for free in the Hanover Parking Deck at Hanover Street. For more information about the Harvest Health, Wellness, and Safety Fair, visit the CFCC website.
