The City of Aiken and the Clyburn Center for Primary Care will host a Community Awareness and Resources Expo Saturday, June 13.
The free expo will be held from noon to 3 p.m. at the Clyburn Center for Primary Care, 1000 Clyburn Place.
Aiken residents will have the opportunity to find and gather resources on health care, affordable housing, law enforcement and community affairs. All of this material will be available in small sessions throughout the expo.
"Rural Health Services Inc. is proud to partner with the City of Aiken and offer the use of our facility, the William C. Clyburn Center for Primary Care, for this event," said Aiken City Council member Gail Diggs, who also serves as the Center's director of outreach and community services. "This is the first of many events that will be available at our site and open to residents across the community."
Several vendors, which include Sugar Bear's Garden and the S.C. Housing Finance Authority, will be on site to share information.
Other vendors will include South Carolina Legal Services, Security Federal, S.C. Consumer Affairs, Red Cross, Goodwill Job Connection, Aiken Center for Drug and Other Alcohol Services, USDA Rural Development, The First Tee, Well Care, Project Vision and Dumpster Depot.
The Aiken Department of Public Safety also will be giving child safety seat lessons, and children can enjoy a bike rodeo.
"That's what outreach is about, reaching out and educating to improve the overall health and wellbeing of our residents," Diggs said.
