The Sowega Council on Aging Senior Resource Fair was a link to resources designed to improve the lives of the aging community. About 20 vendors, including organizations like Early Medical Center, Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital, Gentiva, etc. lined a church hall from 9 a.m. to noon Friday. 

The resource fair was also in conjunction with the Georgia Seniors Farmer Market Nutrition Program, which is a federally funded program that offers fresh fruits and vegetables to eligible participants at approved market sites each year. Attendees could fill out qualifying applications and receive their voucher onsite.
