Free Senior Fair Set For June 30 In Lemont

LEMONT, IL — State Senator John Curran and State Representative Nicole La Ha are inviting local seniors to a free Senior Fair on June 30, at the SS Cyril & Methodius School, in Lemont.

The event will run from 9 a.m. to noon, offering a variety of resources and services specifically designed for seniors, a news release from Curran's office shares.

"It is essential we make sure our senior community has access to the information and services they need,” Curran said. “This fair is a great way for seniors to gather together, connect with more local services, and enjoy a morning focused on their health and wellness."

According to a news release, the Senior Fair will feature over 40 local organizations and service providers ready to offer valuable information on health care, financial planning, legal assistance and more. Seniors will have access to free health screenings and wellness tips. Assistance with utility savings, preventing internet scams, and home safety tips will be available.

Additionally, there will be a collection for flags, eyeglasses, hearing aids, phones and prescription drugs that are no longer needed.
